Peggy's Kitchen Wall

Crashing in the kitchen, noises in the hall

Roll over and go back to sleep -- it's just a dream, that's all

So how come the window's broken? What caused the glass to fall?

And who put that bullet hole in Peggy's kitchen wall?

Police arrive -- muddy up the floor

Dig out half the plaster -- it's a .38 for sure

Kick the neighbour's door in, saying better tell it all

Who put that bullet hole in Peggy's kitchen wall?

Blaster on the back porch shaking up the lane

They're drinking gin and joking -- laughter falling down like rain

Everybody wears a halo -- never saw nothing at all

So who put that bullet hole in Peggy's kitchen wall

Toronto July 1983
