CKY - The Boardwalk Body lyrics

It was late in July in the midst of his teens
He staggered onto the sand alone as
Nobody else could be seen
Sat to ponder when a nightmare intervened
Unsettling shrill of a midnight scream

It's too hard to walk away when
Terror is not too far
When he went to investigate
The blood was boiling

Under the boards was a
Figure obstructed from view 20
20 is nothing at quarter to two
He stumbled over to confirm
That this was true
And couldn't stop his screaming
It's too hard to walk away when
Terror is not too far
When he went to investigate
The blood was boiling
And who could ever leave her like this?
He took her hand inside of his
A flatline, no sign insisting wrist
How much worse could the world
That we live in be?

Lying quiet and still
Complexion at peace with dismay
By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay
Lying quiet and still
Complexion at peace with dismay
By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay

The next morning they all
Whispered about Jane Doe
Of all importance was just being
The first to know
Any evidence was taken out by the tide
It's just a nihilist that wreaks
His craft with pride

It's too hard to walk away when
Terror is not too far
When he went to investigate
The blood was boiling

Lying quiet and still
Complexion at peace with dismay
By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay
Lying quiet and still
Complexion at peace with dismay
By the moonlight bay the boardwalk body lay
