The Boardwalk Body

歌詞

It was late in July in the midst of his teens He staggered onto the sand alone as nobody else could be seen Sat to ponder when a nightmare intervened Unsettling shrill of a midnight scream It's too hard to walk away when terror is not too far When he went to investigate, the blood was boiling Under the boards was a figure obstructed from view 20/20 is nothing at quarter to two He stumbled over to confirm that this was true And couldn't stop his screaming It's too hard to walk away when terror is not too far When he went to investigate, the blood was boiling And who could ever leave her like this? He took her hand inside of his A flatline, no sign insisting wrist How much worse could the world that we live in be? Lying quiet and still, complexion at peace with dismay By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay Lying quiet and still, complexion at peace with dismay By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay The next morning they all whispered about Jane Doe Of all importance was just being the first to know Any evidence was taken out by the tide It's just a nihilist that wreaks his craft with pride It's too hard to walk away when terror is not too far When he went to investigate, the blood was boiling Lying quiet and still, complexion at peace with dismay By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay Lying quiet and still, complexion at peace with dismay By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay
