Lirieke: Kathleen Edwards. Failer. Six O'clock News.

Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds
And I can't even cross a line to talk you down
And, Peter, sweet baby, where'd you get that gun?
You spend half your life trying to turn the other half around

And I tried to come clean but I guess it's no use
Face is all over six O'clock news
They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools
I can't even get inside

Did you lose your head when the farm went down?
Or was is when your daddy died after he moved to town
And I know your momma calls you "Good for nothing"
She says her baby is a failer and she don't want you calling

And I tried to come clean but I guess it's no use
Face is all over six O'clock news
They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools
I can't even get inside

Peter, sweet baby, there's just something I need to say to you
I'm gonna have your baby this coming June
We could get a little place down by Gilmour Park
You could do a little time and save my broken heart

And I tried to come clean but I guess it's no use
Face is all over six O'clock news
They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools
I can't even get inside

And I tried to come clean but I guess it's no use
Copper when ahead and he just shot you through
Now you're lying dead on the avenue
And I can't feel my broken heart, I can't feel my broken heart
