Madeleine

Pick out a necklace
Put on makeup and glasses
Hurry down
Cause they're waiting outside

The brothers and sisters
The dysfunctional family
They're taking you out
On a ride

Set up a campfire
By the lake in the forest
They're preparing
Your final night out

Shivering trees
In the midsummer's breeze
The wind is whispering your name
Madeleine

Something's distracting
There are sounds in the distance
Got to leave
To continue somehow

Back by the vehicle
She's squeezed into the backseat
Let's complete our plans
Here and now

Fasten her tightly
Use the gloves and the halyard
Then surprise her
Quick from behind

Clutch until
Any pulse is still
Hear the wind is howling her name
Madeleine

Dumped by the roadside
Suddenly she starts coughing
Like a ghost
She returns from the dead

Somebody's panicking
Pulls out a hunting knife
Targets her chest
And her head

Let's end all the quarreling
End all these money fights
End this whole madness
For good

Drenched in mud
In the coldest blood
The wind will swirl in disgust

Empty the pockets
Grab the key chain and credit card
Tomorrow they
All will do fine

But first wrap the body
Into waste bags of plastic
Set away
To the water-filled mine

Brutally sunken
For a fistful of dollars
Now she's buried
Along with the debts

Nothing left
But a deadly theft
And a wind that will carry her name
Madeleine
