Mary Hooley

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My mother called the other day She said the girl next door has gone away She said she disappeared, and that her family feared Feared for the life of Mary Hooley [Verse 2] Seems seven called her mom to say Mary hadn't been to work in two days So they went to the house where Mary stayed Out in Pacific palisades [Verse 3] They found a broken shower door A torn blouse and one shoe on the floor But there was no sign of Mary Hooley [Verse 4] And the posters and billboards On the telephone poles On the second page of the newspaper, the story unfolds The strange death of Mary Hooley [Verse 5] She hadn't been seen in five days Found her body off the pier, early on Sunday Seems somebody killed Mary Hooley [Verse 6] Somebody killed Mary Hooley It's a mystery and a tragedy A senseless slice of reality We're gonna miss Mary Hooley [Verse 1] My mother called the other day She said the girl next door has gone away She said she disappeared, and that her family feared Feared for the life of Mary Hooley [Outro] It could've been me It could've been me She lived so close It could've been me But somebody killed Mary Hooley
