Mary Hooley

[Verse 1]
My mother called the other day
She said the girl next door has gone away
She said she disappeared, and that her family feared
Feared for the life of Mary Hooley

[Verse 2]
Seems seven called her mom to say
Mary hadn't been to work in two days
So they went to the house where Mary stayed
Out in Pacific palisades

[Verse 3]
They found a broken shower door
A torn blouse and one shoe on the floor
But there was no sign of Mary Hooley

[Verse 4]
And the posters and billboards
On the telephone poles
On the second page of the newspaper, the story unfolds
The strange death of Mary Hooley

[Verse 5]
She hadn't been seen in five days
Found her body off the pier, early on Sunday
Seems somebody killed Mary Hooley

[Verse 6]
Somebody killed Mary Hooley
It's a mystery and a tragedy
A senseless slice of reality
We're gonna miss Mary Hooley

[Verse 1]
My mother called the other day
She said the girl next door has gone away
She said she disappeared, and that her family feared
Feared for the life of Mary Hooley

[Outro]
It could've been me
It could've been me
She lived so close
It could've been me
But somebody killed Mary Hooley
