When there weren't any parties she'd park by the quarry | |
Walk into the woods until she came to a clearing | |
Where townies would gather and drink until blackout | |
Smoke cigs 'til they're sick, pack bowls and then pass out | |
Windows wide open to let the hard rock in | |
This was the rage it didn't need much convincing | |
The girls gave her glares, but the boys were quite pleasant | |
To be totally honest, they didn't seem much different | |
When there weren't any parties | |
Some time she'd party with townies | |
Out on the parkways, after the parties | |
It was always arousing when they'd rev up their engines | |
It's hard to describe, so she kept it a secret | |
The girls that she lived with, they knew nothing about it | |
That night with the fire and the butterfly knife | |
Was the first night she spent with that one guy that she liked | |
She gave him a ride to some kid's house in | |
ClevelandHe stayed there for two weeks, the cops finally found him | |
He didn't seem that different except for the blood on his jacket | |
He didn't seem that different except for maybe his haircut | |
He didn't seem much different | |
They didn't seem that different up until this one little incident | |
They didn't seem much different | |
Now the cops wanna question everyone present | |
They parade every townie in town to the station | |
But no one says nothing and they can't find the weapon | |
The girl takes the stand and swears she was with him | |
Her father's lawyers do most of the talking | |
She's sick of the questions, sick of the concept of justice and fairness | |
Who the hell who cares who gets caught in the middle | |
She smokes and she ponders this riddle | |
When one townie falls in the forest, can anyone hear it? | |
When one townie falls | |
When one townie falls in the forest does anyone notice? | |
One drop of blood on immaculate | |
KedsMom don't know where her girl is | |
Sophomore accomplice in a turtleneck sweater | |
Dad do you know where your kids are? | |
Sniffing at crystal in cute little cars | |
Getting nailed against dumpsters behind townie bars | |
It's a cute little town with streets and cafés | |
The fronts all seem nice, she was getting good grades | |
But when she came home for | |
ChristmasShe just seemed distant and different |
When there weren' t any parties she' d park by the quarry | |
Walk into the woods until she came to a clearing | |
Where townies would gather and drink until blackout | |
Smoke cigs ' til they' re sick, pack bowls and then pass out | |
