Elm Street

The day was warm
Keeping Cold War at bay
No one was warned
Ill fated cavalcade
The sun rose high
No clouds, windows, no shade
A lone umbrella
As bullets rain on your parade

Three shots, one kill, grave filled
A nation left in panic
Gunned down, heart stilled
By skills of a supposed fanatic

The screams of loving wife
Can't bring you back to life
Skull fragments
I'm blowing your mind

Fled the scene, now on the street
Here's a Tippett, it's too late
Should've stayed out of my way
But you made your final stop
Watching as your body drops

Four shots, one kill, no chill
Then it's on to the theater
No shot, you're caught, thick plot
The picture's getting clearer

How could we left this be?
Shrouded in mystery
A random act or part of a conspiracy?
Once we hear the truth then we will see

No trial for the dead

One shot, one kill, lips sealed
As blood flows ruby red
Silenced, no clues, revealed
No trials for the dead

A killer brought to justice
Six stories, smoking gun
A question left unanswered
Was he the only one?
