Six O'Clock News

Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds And I can't even get inside to talk you down Peter, sweet baby, where'd 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 it's no use Your face is all over six o'clock news They cleared the street and then they closed the schools I can't 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 don't want you calling Peter, sweet baby, there's 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 it's no use Copper when ahead and he just shot you through Now you're lying dead on the avenue And I can't feel my broken heart
