Laurie Anderson - The Hollywood Strangler lyrics

I was living out in West Hollywood
When a Hollywood strangler was strangling
Women every night there was a panel
Discussion on TV about the
Strangler -speculations about his
Habit's, his motives
His methods -one thing was
Clear about him: he only strangled
Women when they were alone
Or with other women
And the panel members would
Always end the show
By saying: "Now for all you women
Listen: don't go
Outside without a man don't walk
Out to your car
Don't even take the garbage out by yourself
Always go with a man"

Then, one of the eyewitnesses identified a
Policeman as one of the suspects
The next night, the chief of the
Police was on the panel, and he said:
"Now for all you women, whatever happens
Do not stop for a police officer stay in
Your car if a police officer tries to
Stop you, do not stop keep driving
And under no circumstances should you
Get out of your car

For a few weeks, half the traffic in LA was
Doing twice the speed limit's
