Fun in Florida with the girls, so he thought
I watched him spray his hair, flick it into a quiff
It came in the middle of the afternoon,
News, a scandal.
He couldn’t run from the lie, it was too hard
He needed to find the second girl
Hope she would tell the truth
To prove his innocence
He walked the girls home,
they were alive when he left them
somebody must have seen him…
