Prologue Lyrics - Rilo Kiley

Tucked in the woods 

Near North Chicago 

Early November 

Commences our saga 

Two loved in silence 

For fear of corruption 

Then fate chimed in 

With an evil grin and a mighty interruption 

She awoke in a panic 

The TV in static 

She heard a voice 

In the attic 

Crouched behind her door 

With a Swiss Army knife 

She cried in silence 

Fearing for her life 

Protecting herself 

She stabbed the intruder 

The lights turned on 

Her knife impaled her suitor 

She'd committed a murder 

While he laid there bleeding 

She stared, clearly scared 

Checked her boyfriend's heart for beating 

It's not right 

The lights get dim 

And all she thinks of is him 

She cried through the morning 

As she read the paper 

Her father told police 

The boy broke in to rape her 

She ran to the bathroom 

Enraged and pissed 

Grabbed a razor 

And tic-tac-toed her wrist 

She'd committed a murder 

And while she laid there bleeding 

She stared, clearly scared 

Checked her final pulse for beating 

It's not right 

The lights get dim 

And all she thinks of is him
