Some Say Murder in Boston

Julie's got a raincoat
She wears it when the lights are low
--keeps it slow
Jackie is a juicy
Julie has her eye on him
--just a friend

Pamela for Jackie
Pelvic undulating cheer
--heart-burst fear
Jackie's left his friends home
a little bit before his time
booked with rhyme

You can't say what you would do if you were I
Who can judge? Who can show that's why
You can't say what you would do if you were I

Jackie is just fourteen
Pamela is younger still
--a mother filled
Take a train to New York
and found a doctor to employ
--suck the noise

They returned to Boston
He saw her less frequently
--mental ease
Talked a lot with Julie
Jealousy was on the phone
Pam's mom was at home

You can't say what you would do if you were I
Who can judge? Who can show that's why
You can't say what you would do if you were I

Julie in the classroom
Jack and her were in bed
--so she said
Jackie visits Julie
I really don't understand
--heard from Pam

Julie attacked Jackie
Her rage he tried to check
and broke her neck
Jackie goes to prison
It was half an accident
I repent!

You can't say what you would do if you were I
Who can judge? Who can show that's why
You can't say what you would do if you were I

Jackie was then let out
after long seven years
--hell fired tears
He might have had college
if he hadn't met those boys
--snuffed the joys

Memories will die hard
Vengeance shines a false crescent
--through open vent
