about

The Zodiac Killer was an asshole.

lyrics

I met her in the park; she was scared out of her mind
I took her by the hand and I asked her, “Darlene, why?”
She said
“Don’t you know there’s a man out there who targets lovely people like me,
He’s on the run and he’s coming hot,
Just wait a little bit and you’ll see.”
A few weeks later she was found inside her car
She tried to cry out but she didn’t make it far
Before
Her brain was shot in and her limbs were frayed
Her blood spattered everything
The scene was dismal and the night shone with patriotic celebrating
Lovely people are splitting up because the Zodiac wants to kill them
Lovely people are splitting up because the Zodiac wants to shoot them
Mr. Arthur Leigh, won’t you take a break
For lovely people’s sake
Two lovely people packed a picnic for a date
They grabbed a blanket and they headed for the lake
As they ate
Cecelia clutched her heart and jabbed a hand at the fabric bag to the right
And Bryan puffed his masculinity and prepared to take up a fight
So plastic grooves of zipties clicked into their place
Sunken pits of shadow twitched over a trembling face
They were readable like that
And frustrating for observers
Detachment bolsters us with boldness and solution
Unplagued by glutamate convolution
We have space to stumble back
And blink at the scene with refreshed eyes
All of our insertion into the situation
Is ruled by sympathy
Lovely people are splitting up because the Zodiac wants to kill them
Lovely people are splitting up because the Zodiac wants to shoot them
Mr. Arthur Leigh, won’t you take a break
For lovely people’s sake
Winds dry and biting stung the night’s December cold
Two lovely people pulled onto a gravel road
And they spoke
D-A-V-I-D, I trust you with my life
And I would never give it up like this
But for you it’s a prize
B-E-T-T-Y, I’ve got you in my sight
And years from now I’ll bond my veins with yours
We’ll reach an acmeic height
Lovely people are splitting up because the Zodiac wants to kill them
Lovely people are splitting up because the Zodiac wants to shoot them
Mr. Arthur Leigh, won’t you take a break
Mr. Arthur Leigh, won’t you take a break
