"Six O'Clock News" lyrics

Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds
And I can't even get inside and talk you down
And Peter, sweet baby, where'd you get that gun?
You spent half your life trying to turn the other half around

And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use
Your face is all over the six o'clock news
They cleared the street and then they closed the schools
I can't even get inside

Did you lose your head when the farm went down?
Or was it when your daddy died after he moved to town?
And I know your mama calls you good-for-nothin'
She said her baby is a failer and she don't want you callin'

And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use
Your face is all over the six o'clock news
They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools
I can't even get inside

Now Peter, sweet baby, there's just something that I gotta say to you
I'm gonna have your baby this coming June
We can get a little place down by Gilmour Park
You can do a little time and save my broken heart

And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use
Your face is all over the six o'clock news
They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools
I can't even get inside

And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use
Copper went ahead and he just shot you through
Now, you're lying dead on the avenue
And I can't feel my broken heart
No, I can't feel my broken heart
