Sniper In The Sky Lyrics - Singles - Macabre

(Charles Whitman) 

He killed his wife and mother, then packed up his supplies 

Like food and guns and ammo, and went out taking lives. 

At the school observatory, he went to the top 

And killed sixteen people before he could be stopped. 

Charles Whitman was the school tower hitman 

Charles Whitman shot at people and hit them 

Charles Whitman had a brain tumour in his head 

Charles Whitman was the cause of eighteen people=B9s deaths. 

He kept on shooting people, the police they tried and tried 

To kill Charles Whitman, the sniper in the sky. 

They finally snuck up on him, surprised him at the top 

Then Charles Whitman was gunned down by a cop. 

Charles Whitman was the school tower hitman 

Charles Whitman shot at people and hit them 

Charles Whitman had a brain tumour in his head 

Charles Whitman was the cause of eighteen people=B9s deaths.
