Murder In This Town Lyrics

Driving with the top down

Long flowing hair

Red lipstick smile

She didn't have a care

Not long ago

But they wouldn't say when

There was a murder in this town

She was a victim

Attractive young boy

Not a dime to his name

Somehow he caught her eye

It was his only claim to fame

Not long ago

But they wouldn't say when

There was a murder in this town

He was a victim

The stranger sits contemplative by the edge of the lake

With the setting sun shining blood red warming his face

A crossroad in time and place

Where an artist of death conducted his sonata

A duet of scarlet ribbons, sobs, and last breaths

painted on this serene landscape

His cold eyes gaze over this body of work

He knows his songs and paintings will be remembered

But there are still more to create.

Not long ago

But they wouldn't say when

There was a murder in this town

They were all victims

Murder in this town

Murder in this town

Murder

In this evening's news we regret to inform you

That two bodies were found along the shore of Lake Basal today at 9:30PM

The victims are as of yet unidentified

But the circumstances show similarity to earlier murders this month by the Red Fog Slasher

At this time the suspect is still at large and the county curfew is still in place, Beware, Be Observant, and Be Safe
