Walk in the Park

I saw you as you were walking
late last night in the park
It's when you said you saw some body
they were lifeless in the dark

Then we both looked a little closer
not a word between was said
It was the ugly realization
that this body had been left for dead

SWINGIN' IN THE PARK
MURDER AFTER DARK
SWINGIN' IN THE PARK
MURDER

You ran away so fast
and you hid inside your room
I was left holding this body
fearing an impending doom

Between the sirens and police cars
somebody said lets see your hands
and I cried I only tried to help him
Don't you understand

By now my situation
it seemed to worsen by the hour
I could see myself in the chair
I could feel that surge of power

Then you appeared like an apparition
and you said that it wasn't me
It was the scumbag who had raped you
and dead is where he should be
