Sooner or later she said she'd be my friend

Honest and faithful till the very end

Well enough of that I'm tired of hearing it anyway

She turns and smiles says goodbye in her inimical way

Happy to see her in the back of a magazine

Lying there nude sporting that stupid grin

So get on with it straight on and porno bound

Just leave me out of it I'm not proud

It would have taken you a long long time

Happy to see her in the back of a limousine

Laughing and crying at everything she'd seen

Well enough of that she should have known better anyway

When I told her what I'd seen she was so ashamed

It would have taken me a long long time

The a year from monday everything I said came true

That's when the d.a. called me he said dead or alive for you

They found her

Dead or alive

I want you dead or alive she said
