Wanted For Murder

You've probably heard about my sword On evening news report They found another body on the porch And the clippings that were kept Under bedstead where I slept Had just been brought to light under copper's torch They know that he's a loner They know that from the crime They're not looking for Mr Popular Just someone to do the time And there's a body that's gone missing And a helicopter high They've combed half the land and half the sky When they're looking for who to blame They usually like to take good aim At the nearest lonely person passing by There's been a body found in lake That for all the family's sake The general public's hoping will be mine Now they're holding midnight mass With all the dignity and class Generally reserved for truffles and wine When they're looking for a killer His profile always fits The man whose only crime was to love His mum to bits And there's a body that's gone missing And a helicopter high They've combed half the land and half the sky When they're looking for who to blame They usually like to take good aim At the nearest lonely person passing by And they're scouring all the scrubland Praying to heaven above The buzzard, hawk, and eagle To my peaceful as a dove And there's a headline with my name on it With the parents asking, "Why?" And they wanna be at the party When I die And there's a body that's gone missing And a helicopter high They've combed half the land and half the sky When they're looking for who to blame They usually like to take good aim At the nearest lonely person passing by And they're scouring all the scrubland Praying to heaven above The buzzard, hawk, and eagle To my peaceful as a dove And there's a headline with my name on it With the parents asking, "Why?"
