Murder In the Backyard

There's a murder in the backyard
I've been hearing them since dawn
As they shout into the suburbs
And they blacken up my lawn

There's a murder in the backyard
Getting bigger every day
I don't know why they came here
And I don't know why they stay

There's a murder in the backyard
For no reason I can see
But they gather round the back door
Like they want to talk to me

There's a murder in the backyard
And I've told them all I know
But no matter what I say I cannot
Seem to make them go

There's a murder in the backyard
And another in my head
And neither one will go away
Till someone winds up dead
