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
