1
I knelt I aimed I missed I ran
2
Across the field where our love began
3
The ears of the corn began to melt and swim
4
My 20/20 vision 95% dim
5
I bowed my head to the weight of the sun
6
I saw ribs sticking out through my yellow skin
7
I felt so tall I felt so thin
8
And the children were singing, "Here he comes the killer
9
again
10
Here he comes the chickenkiller again"
11
I was shooting at the birds on the telephone lines
12
Putting little black holes on the speed limit signs
13
And tell me where she is I screamed
14
And tell me where it is she's been
15
Well smiling people gathered round
16
Wearing coloured silk under coloured lights
17
And paper streamers floated down
18
like a skating rink or a boxing fight
19
And grace descended without a sound
20
And the children kept singing, "Here he comes the killer again
21
Here he comes the chickenkiller again"
22
I ran through that crowd calling out your dear name
23
To the blind the deaf the dumb the lame
24
But they shook their heads and pointed to the sky
25
Saying she's in His hands now my boy
26
She caught death as only lovers can ever catch can
27
And the children kept singing, "Here he comes the killer again
28
Here he comes the chickenkiller again"
29
Now the grass is brown and dry beside the track
30
Broken beer bottle shines like our engagement ring
31
And as sure as theres a man on the cross on a hill
32
I'll pay dearly for everything
33
Now they stoop and they poke and they prod and they peer
34
at our prone bodies lying there
35
Like roosters picking at the body of a hen
36
And the children were singing, "Here he comes the killer
37
again
38
Here he comes the chickenkiller again"
39
My ears were filled with that joyful ringing
40
My ears were filled with that happy singing
41
Laughing and pointing and pointing and singing
42
And the children sang
