Lyrics
AN AMBULANCE SIREN PIERCES THE NIGHT
THIS CUL-DE-SAC?S NORMALLY PERFECTLY QUIET
A CRIME?S BEEN COMMITTED, A BODY?S BEEN FOUND
SUBURBIA?S SPRING MAY BE COMING UNWOUND
EVERYBODY FLOCKS TO THE STREET
YELLOW POLICE TAPE IS HONEY TO BEES
THEY GOSSIP THE DETAILS, THEY SECRETLY LIKE
THEIR INSIDER?S SEAT AT THE SCENE OF THIS TROUBLE IN PARADISE
LONG AFTER THE BODY IS BURIED AND GONE
THE CARPOOLS DROP KIDS ON THEIR MANICURED LAWNS
THEY WHISPER AND PEEK THROUGH THEIR LEVELOR SHADES
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH WATCHES HOW YOU BEHAVE
EVERYBODY FLOCKS TO THE STREET
OVER THEIR LATTES WITH NON-FAT WHIPPED CREAM
THEY GOSSIP THE DETAILS, THEY SECRETLY LIKE
THEIR INSIDER?S SEAT AT THE SCENE OF THIS TROUBLE IN PARADISE
UNTIL THE DAY THE SIRENS COME BACK
BUT IT?S NOT A CRIME, JUST A MILD HEART ATTACK
EVERYBODY FLOCKS TO THE STREET
EAGER TO SHARE THEIR SINCERE SYMPATHIES
THEY GOSSIP THE DETAILS, THEY SECRETLY LIKE
THEIR INSIDER?S SEAT AT THE SCENE OF THIS TROUBLE IN PARADISE
THEY GOSSIP THE DETAILS, THEY SECRETLY LIKE
THEIR INSIDER?S SEAT AT THE SCENE OF THIS TROUBLE IN PARADISE
