Somebody went and killed some people And they know who The evidence fits around the facts Like a favourite shoe But nobody knows where the corpses are Their whereabouts unknown The killer's in a frenzy And he's getting on the phone So they got their thinking hats on And spread out in their cars But only I know where the bodies are
You know they can i.d. someone From one cell of skin But they couldn't spot a crime scene If the killer went and let 'em in To genetic fingerprinting We all take off our hats To hide the little stains that spread Across the welcome mat You can put your best foot forward And wish upon a star But only I know where the bodies are
Lawyers defending guilty men Depending on the bid The question isn't if they're guilty But if they'll get acquitted Justice goes unjustfied Beneath a police chief and an eagle Pain's too difficult to prove They're not going to make pain illegal To think that we were once naive To think we've come this far To think that only I know where the bodies are
Some people don't wanna know The facts behind the scam Or see "Who could I be?" Peeking out behind "The great I am" But most of us got enough to think about Husbands and wives To notice pointless death's become A brand new way of life And this is just a sandwich board That I wear out in the park Saying only I know where the bodies are (And I'm not telling you.)
