This is a wrong un for sure, but with a jaunty jacket, And entirely fictional!
I spoke to my neighbour today
Asked how her day had been
She smiled and told me that her partner was away
She was happy just to speak to someone
She was happy just to speak to me
Said she never seemed to have much fun
Alarm bells rang, sounded louder than guns
I saw the signs and went running for cover
I’m more a fighter, not a friend or a lover
Made my excuses and left right away
What was I thinking, did I really want to stay?
These painful feelings try to surface again
I get mixed up, leaving heartbreak and pain
My darkest secrets written large on my face
My darkest deeds that I try to erase
I spoke to my neighbour today
Oh, not again, I cry and pray to the sky
She seems so sweet and she’s too young
Too young to die
I saw the signs and went running for cover
I’m just a killer, not a friend or a lover
Spoke to my neighbour today
Spoke to my neighbour today

Well, alright. A feel good serial killer ditty. I like how the singer is scared and running away in the first verse then drawn back in the second.

Great story song.

Nice tune! The contrast between the lyrics and the music is delicious.
