White Dress

Someone's on the streets tonight,

Killer or madman, I don't know,

Don't think I'll go out tonight,

Stay at home and watch the late show,

Footsteps break the subway's sleep,

Funny, no one has ears for screams,

They found her up by Murphy's keep,

It's in the papers, it's in my dreams.

Cops are smart and they pulled him in,

A poor young drifter who would go to hell,

And everyone can walk the streets again,

'Cept three young girls and they can't tell.

(Bridge) Moon-glow and streetlights,

At the end of the day,

Loneliness and the city life,

Make people act this way.

(Chorus) Oh people how you shiver,

Behind your TV safe from sin,

This child you once delivered,

Please, deliver us from him.

You may think that my story's told,

The men of law cleared up the mess,

'Young girl missing only ten years old,

Four foot ten, white party dress,'

Worried mother on a TV screen,

Saying 'Where's my baby, I want to know,'

But we all knew she'd never see her again,

Still put it on, it makes a good show.

{Spoken}It makes a good show. Lights. Camera

They got him this time, I don't know how,

Seems that someone just saw his face,

And it's all back to normal now,

Just this white dress I can't place.
