Diana Horden (1900-1922) Songtext
von Manning

Diana)
Walking down Main street with a frightened face in my head
"She was cruising for a bruising", that′s what the other man said
Hiding away, in the shadows
Though it may take all the night
I have, I have my camera
I have the door way in plain sight

(Diana)
"She looked like an angel", the cab driver had claimed
But thirty minutes later they were trying to find someone to blame
She, she had left the door open
And in walked the killer, so cold
No one, no one heard her struggle
As she fought for survival till the end


Lost the right to life
In the candle light
He extinguished her flame
Then slipped away
And left his prey
Down on, Down on
Down on Sparrow Lane, Sparrow Lane

(Killer)
I have walked this mind's eye
Leaving compassion behind me
Crossed the road to her front door
And managed the lock... so easily

(Killer)
Hanging out on Main street with a knife in my hand
"I′ll catch him with a snapshot!", that's what the lady had planned
Hiding away, in the shadows
Though it may take all the night
I have, I have my alibi
I have her door in plain sight

Lost the right to life
In the flashbulb light
When she entered my game
Then I slip away
Another day
Down on, down on
Down on Sparrow Lane, Sparrow Lane
