Memory Loss
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Had a bad headache last night...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
I wake up now and the time is bright
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Get dressed, no time for breakfast
I'm needed at investigations by request
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
A girl was killed, in the early a.m's
One thing I hate about this job, is seeing the dead
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Young woman, brunette, in her late 20's
Go through her files and see her profile picture
O god, I know her...she works in the cafe
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Thought she was cute, wanted to ask her out one day
...Guess I'll never get the chance to do so
I always seemed to forget her name
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
My colleagues pull me aside and ask me to answer
My anger is brimming; why am I under question?
They say they new I liked her, and would be here once a week
But that doesn't mean I did this to her: felt like I was on repeat
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
But you must know something, they ask
You were out with her last night
I looked at them as if they were crazy
...No...that isn't right
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
They both turned and sighed and said they had no choice
The bullet matches my gun and my semen's in her voice
We've worked together a long time, beginning to be friends
But this crime you have committed, is going to cost you your end
...NO...THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT; I grab my gun and I hold it tight
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Stop it! they yell, do not hesitate
It is all already to late, just hand us your gun and give us your plate
There's no way, I cry, I look up for a moment and search to the sky
Inching near me, I jolt up my hand, don't get closer!
...O...wait...I do remember...her name was Betty: BANG!!!
