The Black Dahlia
Hello
I know
Much more now than
Many years ago
The only time you really need to
Watch your back
Is when things are good and slow
Traded in my east coast winds
For more hot and dry
But the people out here
They just feed off your fear
They wanna take you for a ride
And stay away from that highway 101
She's as evil as can be
Some got this town all figured out
Just ask any ghost you see
Cus if you stay here long enough
Someone's bound to notice
And if you bury your heart next to Marilyn
You might one day too get roses
Hello
Where have you been
Heard you got yourself a wife
I been laying bricks for some
Government camp
Said I could build me quite a life
See when I was little they told me
That I could be anything
As long as I stuck by it
But what they don't say
Is that they'll hunt ya down
If you're bold enough to try it
Hello
Are you still there
I got to admit
I'm a little scared
We ran out out conversation then he
Ran out on me
And left his pocket watch with a hotel key
So I painted on a smile
And waited for a while
At a down and out canteen
Well he showed up at the bar
Lookin just like a movie star
Who just stepped off the silver screen
He said hello
I didn't mean to go
Let me take you for a ride
Cus I wanna make sure that a
Pretty girl like you
Don't ever leave my side
Then he took me downtown
And drove us all around
Then he showed me up the stairs
I said
Take me home please
I don't wanna go please
He said honey
Say your prayers
but I know one day
I'm gonna make front page
And everyone will know my face
From the boulevard to Scotland Yard
They'll all be whispering my name
She was wearing all black
Disappeared and never came back
She never lived to see her fame
Hello
It's me you know
How can everyone see through me
I saw your name when the newspaper came
Thought you said to knew me
Hello
