Hitchhiking, a family / picked Alec up, the road / as barren as the fields, /
ask Alec why he killed / the husband and his wife / and he'll tell you, "Because..." /
remember Alec killed / the little girl and boy, / ask him why them as well, /
"do not be offended, / I saved them the trouble / that this hard luck life wields..." //
Little did Alec think / about his own family, / about the life he left, /
under the influence / of the monkey he swiped / a loaded gun, the paws /
claws deep inside his brain, / he saw a car, money, / and not a death row cell, /
kiss each moment goodbye, / Alec lived each moment / as if it were his last. //
Chukar, a family name, / from Pakistan, Alec / fled, his family bereft, /
his father wonders how / a son could abandon / his country and mother, /
under the influence / of the monkey, he found / the future meaningless, /
kiss each moment goodbye / and live in the present, / but why kill your brother, /
angry at his mistakes, / angry at his family, / Alec embraced the stress /
rough sleepers on the road / who never catch a break / see time trapped in the past. //
