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!!! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 5 5 5 5 Had bad headache last night... I wake up now and the time is bright...
