Hey, Doreen

These buttons are in the wrong holes again

Let's straighten them out

Let's straighten this whole damn mess we've gotten ourselves in

This time didn't go the way I was hoping

You've gotta get out, I've gotta get out

Keep checking the mirrors, call me as soon as you can

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, can you keep it, can you keep it in?

Hey Doreen, we know what you have seen

It's the way, the way it had to be

Hey Doreen, we know what you have seen

It's the way it had to be

(cover your tracks, you know you can't take it back)

The sun's coming up, did you make it in time?

If anyone asks you

You weren't there I found the perfect alibi

A black dahlia blooms and then she dies

Lie after lie

Is what we do best and share in common, you and I

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, can you keep it, can you keep it in?

Hey Doreen, we know what you have seen

It's the way, the way it had to be

All your plans, just a nickel in her hands

It's the way it had to be

(cover your tracks, you know you can't take it back)

Hey Doreen, we know what you have seen

It's the way it had to be

(cover your tracks, you know you can't take it back)

Mother you can try to find a place to hide

You can try but they'll find me

Mother you can try to find a place to hide

You can try but they'll find me

Hey Doreen, we know what you have seen

It's the way, the way it had to be

All your plans, just a nickel in her hands

It's the way it had to be

(cover your tracks, you know you can't take it back)

Hey Doreen, we know what you have seen

It's the way it had to be

(cover your tracks, you know you can't take it back)
