Six O＇Clock News

Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds
And I cant even get inside to talk you down
Peter, sweet baby, whered you get that gun
You spend half your life trying to turn
the other half around.
And I tried to come clean,
but I guess its no use
Your face is all over six oclock news
They cleared the street and then they closed the schools
I cant even get inside

Did you lose your head when the farm went down?
Was is when your daddy died after he moved to town
And I know your momma calls you good for nothing
She says her baby is a failer and she dont
want you calling

And I tried to come clean,
but I guess its no use
Your face is all over six oclock news
They cleared the street and then they closed the schools
I cant even get inside

Peter, sweet baby , theres something
I need to say to you
Gonna have your baby this coming June
We could get a little place down by Gilmour park
You could do a little time and save my broken heart

And I tried to come clean,
but I guess its no use
Your face is all over six oclock news
They cleared the street and then they closed the schools
I cant even get inside

And I tried to come clean, but I guess its no use
Copper when ahead and he just shot you through
Now youre lying dead on the avenue
And I cant feel my broken heart
