Lyrics
Killing Joke
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A twisted mind controls the body of an ordinary man
Desire for brutality on youngsters cause some pain
He gets into his oldsmobile, searching for his prey
Hunting season is open! Will you run or will you stay?
Waiting at the bus stop to continue a trip
When a friendly face appears offering a ride
He talks about a job, offers some food, a place to rest
Pleasant conversation till the turning of the tide
Pogo, the clown, is just a disguise
Every chance to survive was denied
A garrotte to choke
Another victim of the Killing Joke
An unbearable smell "Just clogged pipes," he says
A set of concrete graves is found
In the basement
Twenty-nine corpses, arranged side by side
Terror is visible in his petrified eyes
Pogo, the clown, is just a disguise
Every chance to survive was denied
A garrotte to choke
Another victim of the Killing
Another victim of the Killing
Another victim of the Killing, JOKE!
