When there werent any parties shed park by the quarry Walk into the woods until she came to a clearing Where townies would gather and drink until blackout Smoke cigs till theyre sick, pack bowls and then pass out Windows wide open to let the hard rock in Theirs was a rage that didnt need much convincing The girls gave her glares but the boys were quite pleasant To be perfectly honest, they didnt seem much different When there werent any parties Sometimes shed party with townies Out on the parkways after the parties It was always arousing when theyd rev up their engines Its hard to describe so she kept it a secret The girls that she lived with, they knew nothing about it The night with the fight and the butterfly knife Was the first night she spent with that one guy she liked She gave him a ride to some kids house in Cleveland He stayed there for two weeks, the cops finally found him He didnt seem that different except for that blood on his jacket He didnt seem that different except for maybe his haircut He didnt seem much different They didnt seem that different up until this one little incident They didnt seem much different Now the cops want to question everyone present They parade every townie in town through the station But no one says nothing and they cant find the weapon The girl takes the stand and she swears she was with him Her fathers lawyers do most of the talking Shes sick of the questions, sick of the concept Of justice and fairness, who the hell cares Who gets caught in the middle? She smokes and she ponders this riddle When one townie falls in the forest, can anyone hear it? When one townie falls When one townie falls in the forest, does anyone notice? One drop of blood on immaculate Keds Mom, do you know where your girl is? Sophomore accomplice in a turtleneck sweater Dad, do you know where your kids are? Sniffing at crystal in cute little cars Getting nailed against dumpsters behind townie bars Its a cute little town, boutiques and cafes Her friends all seemed nice, she was getting good grades But when she came home for Christmas She just seemed distant and different
