CKY - The Boardwalk Body lyrics

rate me

<BR>

It was late in July in the midst of his teens<br>

He staggered onto the sand alone as nobody else could be seen<br>

Sat to ponder when a nightmare intervened<br>

Unsettling shrill of a midnight scream<br>

<br>

It's too hard to walk away when terror is not too far<br>

When he went to investigate, the blood was boiling<br>

<br>

Under the boards was a figure obstructed from view<br>

20/20 is nothing at quarter to two<br>

He stumbled over to confirm that this was true<br>

And couldn't stop his screaming<br>

<br>

It's too hard to walk away when terror is not too far<br>

When he went to investigate, the blood was boiling<br>

And who could ever leave her like this?<br>

He took her hand inside of his<br>

A flatline, no sign insisting wrist<br>

How much worse could the world that we live in be?<br>

<br>

Lying quiet and still, complexion at peace with dismay<br>

By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay<br>

Lying quiet and still, complexion at peace with dismay<br>

By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay<br>

<br>

The next morning they all whispered about Jane Doe<br>

Of all importance was just being the first to know<br>

Any evidence was taken out by the tide<br>

It's just a nihilist that wreaks his craft with pride<br>

<br>

It's too hard to walk away when terror is not too far<br>

When he went to investigate, the blood was boiling<br>

<br>

Lying quiet and still, complexion at peace with dismay<br>

By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay<br>

Lying quiet and still, complexion at peace with dismay<br>

By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay<br>

<BR><BR>
