"And there's a madman making deals with where his victims lie - they found somebody in the field they can't identify - and the girl on the flyer smiles - she's a mystery she's an open file - last seen in the market - last seen as a child."

Words and music by the band East Van Eye. Brentwrote this lyric in a laundromat on a hot summer's night in Vancouver.

LYRICS

Had to get out
Everything was dirty
Had to get my shirts clean
I got my things I got my laundry
Some coins for the machines

Passing by the bulletin boards
I see the wanted and for sale
Stereos and second hand stoves
Get your leathers for a steal

And the girl on the flyer smiles
She's dilated and her eyes are wild
Last seen on the island
Last Seen As A Child

As I wait I read the papers
All the headlines and the comics
Wars are waged on a daily basis
Overseas and in the projects
And there's a madman making deals
With where his victims lie
They found some body in fields
They can't identify

And the girl on the flyer smiles
She's a mystery she's an open file
Last seen in the market
Last Seen As A Child

The work is done and it's on my back
All my colors and my whites
I'm standing here now
I'm on the corner
I'm waiting for the walking light
Up and down and all around
These intersection poles
There's enterprising advertising
For local talent shows

And the girl on the flyer smiles
She's dilated and her eyes are wild
Last seen on the island
Last Seen As A Child
