[Intro]

[Verse 1]
You've probably heard about my sword on evening news report
They found another body under porch
And the clippings that were kept under bedstead where I slept
Have just been brought to light under copper's torch

[Pre-Chorus 1]
They know that he's a loner; they know that from the crime
They're not looking for Mr Popular, just someone to do the time

[Chorus]
And there's a body that's gone missing, and a helicopter high
They've combed half the land and half the sky
When they're looking for who to blame, they usually like to take good aim
At the nearest lonely person passing by

[Verse 2]
There's been a body found in lake, that, for all the family's sake
The general public's hoping will be fine
Now they're holding Midnight Mass, with all the dignity and class
Generally reserved for truffles and wine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When they're looking for a killer, his profile always fits
The man whose only crime was to love his mum to bits
[Chorus]
And there's a body that's gone missing, and a helicopter high
They've combed half the land and half the sky
When they're looking for who to blame, they usually like to take good aim
At the nearest lonely person passing by

[Bridge]
And they're scouring all the scrubland, praying to heaven above
They're buzzard, hawk, and eagle to my peaceful as a dove
And there's a headline with my name on it, with the parents asking, 'Why?'
And they wanna be at the party when I die

Wanted for murder
Wanting in love

[Chorus]
And there's a body that's gone missing, and a helicopter high
They've combed half the land and half the sky
When they're looking for who to blame, they usually like to take good aim
At the nearest lonely person passing by

[Bridge]
And they're scouring all the scrubland, praying to heaven above
They're buzzard, hawk, and eagle to my peaceful as a dove
And there's a headline with my name on it, with the parents asking, 'Why?'
And they wanna be at the party when I die
