Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] You've probably heard about my sword on evening news report They found another body under porch And the clippings that were kept under bedstead where I slept Have just been brought to light under copper's torch [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] There's been a body found in lake, that, for all the family's sake The general public's hoping will be fine Now they're holding Midnight Mass, with all the dignity and class Generally reserved for truffles and wine [Pre-Chorus 2] When they're looking for a killer, his profile always fits The man whose only crime was to love his mum to bits [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] And they're scouring all the scrubland, praying to heaven above They're 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 Wanted for murder Wanting in love [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] And they're scouring all the scrubland, praying to heaven above They're 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
