There's a morbid fascination
We all indulge as a nation
Watching late-night crime shows
Where cops and bad guys come to blows
Mysteries and murders to figure out
Gripping when evidence is next to nowt
Who's the thief, who's the killer
Building tension, a rising thriller
Stalwart good guys working in teams
Savvy techies working on screens
The murderer looks like the bloke next door
Only he leaves all his victims on the floor
You start getting jumpy, a little bit tense
Looking nervously over the fence
Wondering if you're being tracked
If your head will be the next one whacked
Start at every shadow, jump at every noise
Stay away from groups of girls and boys
Bar all the windows, lock all the doors
Listen out for squeaks on the floors
Cos everyone's a serial killer!
(Just to be clear - this is the product of an overactive imagination watching Criminal Minds obsessively lol. I don't really think everyone is a serial killer. Although...)
