lyrics

Under the power lines, just past town
Just three miles from where your sister was found
You cried in the car and hid from the moon
While the wind in the power lines whistled a tune
It went, “la, la-la, la-la.”

She was just sixteen, still had the smile of a child
You couldn’t keep her in on a Friday night
She felt the pull of the lights, the pull of the town
Where the work men came and threw their money around
And her friends they swore they danced in the hall
Till she left on the arm of a man with a voice like a radio song
They danced in the hall
Till she left on the arm of a man with a voice that went, “la, la-la, la-la.”

When the trial adjourned you could tell by their eyes
The jury was believing every one of his lies
The way he said her name like he was wasting his breath
And he sat with a smile when the verdict was read
Oh and two weeks passed with a hum and a haw
While you fattened your hate and you sharpened your claws
Then on a Friday night, in a wig and a dress
You walked up to him and said, “Let’s make a mess.”
So you drove him down a long dirt road
You kissed his neck and turned the radio on
Yeah, down a long dark road, as you were held in his arms
You pulled out a knife and turned the radio on, it went …

You made him cry, you made him beg
For all the times he said her name
Under the power lines, just past town
Just three miles from where your sister was found
You cried in the car and hid from the moon
While the knife in his heart, it beat out a tune
It went, “la, la-la, la-la.”
