Midnight Show
I know what you want
I wanna take you a midnight show tonight
If you can keep a secret
I got a blanket in the back seat of my mind
And a little place that sits beneath the sky
She turned her face to speak
But no-one heard her cry
I drive faster, boy
I drive faster, boy
I know there's a hope
There's too many people trying to help me cope
You got a real short skirt
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah yeah
We were just in time
Let me take a little more off your mind
There's something in my head
Somewhere in the back said
We were just a good thing
We were such a good thing
Make it go away without a word
But promise me you'll stay
...
Oh make it go away!
I drive faster, boy
I drive faster, boy
Oh crashing time can't hide a guilty girl
With jealous hearts that start with blossom curls
I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier
Of stars in atmosphere
And watch her disappear
Into the midnight show...
Oh faster, faster, faster...
Oh no no no no no...
If you keep a secret
Well baby... you can keep a secret
If you keep a secret...
I believe the first verse of this song is talking about the location of the murder."I know what you want" meaning that he knows Jenny does not want to be with him and break up with him, but "I wanna take you a midnight show tonight", the "midnight show" being the actual murder. "If you can keep a secret"is being ironic as when she is dead she is not actually going to be able to tell anyone what happened. " she turned her face to speak
but no-one heard her cry I drive faster, boy I drive faster, boy " I believe this is the actual murder and he says no one heard her scream when he kills her and then he has to drive away fast to get away from the scene of the murder. I believe in the rest of the song he is going more and more insane and has actually realised what he has done and trys to reassure himself that no body will find out what happened "Oh faster, faster, faster...Oh no no no no no...If you keep a secret Well baby... you can keep a secret If you keep a secret..."
