[00:32.47] |
Born at the end of a Minnesota freeze |
[00:35.62] |
Eldest child of Willy and Louise |
[00:39.35] |
His little sister died at the age of four |
[00:45.16] |
The family posed, led by Louise |
[00:48.51] |
Like right out of some kind of Rockwell scene |
[00:52.09] |
But Jake couldn't fake it anymore |
[00:55.21] |
|
[00:58.12] |
Nobody heard the hammer falling |
[01:01.14] |
Sensed that judgement day was calling |
[01:04.45] |
Nobody thought to fear the boy next door |
[01:11.08] |
Everybody loves to point their finger |
[01:14.03] |
They might as well have pulled the trigger |
[01:17.45] |
Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door |
[01:21.41] |
|
[01:23.80] |
Willy later said he really should've known |
[01:26.95] |
The boy spent too much time on his own |
[01:30.43] |
And what was on his mind, God only knew |
[01:36.52] |
One by one the neighbors went away |
[01:39.87] |
A gruesome little game Jake taught himself to play |
[01:43.40] |
His daddy always said, "find something to do" |
[01:47.06] |
|
[01:49.43] |
Nobody heard the hammer falling |
[01:52.57] |
Sensed that judgement day was calling |
[01:55.73] |
Nobody thought to fear the boy next door |
[02:02.30] |
Everybody loves to point their finger |
[02:05.47] |
They might as well have pulled the trigger |
[02:08.64] |
Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door |
[02:12.53] |
|
[02:16.31] |
One less mistake to think about |
[02:21.59] |
Cause no one read the writing on the wall |
[02:28.69] |
So much for case 1239 |
[02:34.40] |
Covered up, curled up in a ball |
[02:39.03] |
|
[03:06.42] |
One little page in the history of crime |
[03:10.01] |
Lawyers made a fortune for their time |
[03:13.15] |
Seems an explanation was never found |
[03:19.13] |
And I hope this tale won't be misunderstood |
[03:22.64] |
Things ain't the same in every neighborhood |
[03:26.25] |
But before you go to sleep tonight |
[03:29.28] |
|
[03:32.60] |
Look around |
[03:34.09] |
|
[03:35.77] |
Nobody heard the hammer falling |
[03:39.14] |
Sensed that judgement day was calling |
[03:42.30] |
Nobody thought to fear the boy next door |
[03:48.87] |
Everybody loves to point their finger |
[03:51.99] |
They might as well have pulled the trigger |
[03:55.24] |
Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door |
[04:00.34] |
