about

Words and music by Barbara Manning

lyrics

According to the wall clock, it was done at half-past five.
She must have pulled the cord out right before she died.
The gun was resting in her hand, suggesting suicide.
That would not account for the note left at her side
Which read:
Someone wants you dead.

It wasn’t a big mansion with a garden in the back.
It was more an abandoned basement made into a flat.
She didn’t have a Doberman; she didn’t have a phone.
It was not the kind of place you want to live alone.
Not if
Someone wants you dead.

Bury the axe and clear the air.
There’s always someone who hates you somewhere.
There’ll always be someone who hates you somewhere.

I wish I could solve this crime, but nobody was there.
She was hit by accident by a bullet in the air.
It kind of goes to show you how you ought to keep aware.
You can never trust a bullet hanging in the air.
Not when
Someone wants you dead.

Bury the axe and clear the air.
There’s always someone who hates you somewhere.
There’ll always be someone who hates you somewhere.
