Guards at every door
A climate of terror
Could you ask for more

Policemen swarm
Nothing like a crisis
To make the thin line blur

Four girls disappeared
No one can believe
Warnings ignored
Yet somehow we live

This time

6. On The Mailbox
Intro/Verse chords Am C G F
Verse 1
She was walking down the street
And she dreamt of a one back home
There was a boy on the mailbox
He’d been watching her walking alone
Verse 2
She’d had everything in the world
And his had been so empty
All he wanted was control
And maybe this time he’d get it
Verse 3
She’d come from a foreign land
Was just picking up the language
He asked her for a cigarette
His eyes were cool and savage
Chorus
So he took every dream
She’d never dreamed again
He’d been waiting on the mailbox
With a knife in his hand
Verse 4
She struggled against him
His moment was gone
Control had just left him
Once more he was alone

They went to Cronulla
To see his cousins

In the kitchen
At the end of summer

mine
For the rest of all

Soon they moved
Into his place
She made it feel
Like a home
And though he worked
Night and day
He would never
Feel alone
