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 bed scared where I slept
Had just been brought to light under [?] 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 [?]

When they're looking for a killer
This profile always fits
A 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
They're buzzer, hawk, and eagle
To my peaceful eyes 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 buzzer, hawk, and eagle
To my peaceful eyes 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
