The Boardwalk Body Lyrics - Carver City - Cky

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
