[00:00.52] I knelt I aimed I missed I ran
[00:04.01] Across the fIeld where our love began
[00:07.76] The ears of the corn began to melt and swim
[00:11.06] My 2020 vision 95 dim
[00:12.61] I bowed my head to the weight of the sun
[00:17.61] I saw ribs sticking out through my yellow skin
[00:21.53] I felt so tail I felt so thin
[00:29.02] And the children were singing Here he comes the killer again
[00:35.19] Here he comes the chickenkiller again
[00:40.57] I was shooting at the birds on the telephone lines
[00:44.85] Putting little black holes on the speed limit signs
[00:48.47] And tell me where she is I screamed
[00:51.98] And tell me where it Is she's been
[00:55.30] Well smiling people gathered round
[00:58.92] Wearing coloured silk under coloured lights
[01:02.33] And paper streamers floated down
[01:05.25] Like a skating rink or a boxing tight
[01:11.59] And grace descended without a sound
[01:17.58] And the children kept singing Here he comes the killer again
[01:25.54] Here he comes the chickenkiller again
[01:28.65] I ran through that crowd calling out your dear name
[01:32.09] To the blind the deaf the dumb the lame
[01:35.46] But they shook their heads and pointed to the sky
[01:38.70] Saying she's in His hands now my boy
[01:42.27] She caught death as only lovers can ever catch can
[01:46.91] And the children kept singIng Here he comes the killer again
[01:55.88] Here he comes the chickenkiller again
[01:57.79] Now the grass is brown and dry beside the track
[02:17.15] Broken beer bottle shines like our engagement ring
[02:22.03] And as sure as there's a man on the cross on a hill
[02:25.56] I'll pay dearly for everthing
[02:28.63] Now they stoop and they poke and they prod and they peer
[02:32.23] At our prone bodies lying there
[02:37.44] Like roosters picking at the body of a hen
[02:46.41] And the children were singing Here he comes the killer again
[02:52.13] Here he comes the chickenkiller again
[02:56.68] My ears were filled with that joyful ringing
[03:09.47] My ears were filled with that happy singing
[03:17.24] Laughing and pointing and pointing and singing
[03:27.81] And the children sang etc etc
