about

Based on a line from a Thomas Ligotti story

lyrics

Bloodhounds, flashlights and muffled talk
Keep an arm’s length apart when you walk
We're looking for footprints or bits of black cloth
Better keep moving while the sun's still up

Police Chief’s coffee is mostly gin
You can hear him mutter "not again"
They're putting up posters in all the bars that say
"Missing Girls in Gothic Garb"

Last seen wearing a long black dress
vinyl corset and lace up boots
Black nail polish and torn fishnets
and on her wrist a spider web tattoo
Last seen with boyfriend outside the club.
Looked like they were having an argument
He called a cab but after that
he’s got no idea where she went

Newspaper headlines never change
Week after week they remain the same
Ask any rider on any streetcar
About the Missing Girls in Gothic Garb

A roll of duct tape,
a gallon of bleach
and an old blue tarp
Another Missing Girl
Another Missing Girl in Gothic Garb
A candlelight vigil
Down at the city park
Missing Girls, Missing Girls
Missing Girls in Gothic Garb

Search the Orchard; every tree
Twisted branches stripped of leaves
Dogs get lost among roots
Drawn by the smell of rotting fruit

Newspaper headlines never change
Week after week they remain the same
Ask any rider on any streetcar
About the Missing Girls in Gothic Garb

Police Chief’s coffee is mostly gin
You can hear him mutter "not again"
They're putting up posters in all the bars that say
"Missing Girls in Gothic Garb"
