When ol Pete found her body lying by the river, it was more than too late
+
She could walk away from most anything, but no one walks away from fate
+
She used to be the homecoming queen, and everybody was her friend
+
But there were no two doubts about it, that girl had come to some bad end
+
So Pete called up the police and the sheriff, he knew what he'd do
+
Notify the FBI, and tell her family too
+
Cuz this was not the first time, and it would not be the last
+
Folks who don't learn from it are doomed to repeat the past
+
She was wrapped in plastic and cellophane
+
Like a present nobody ever wants to find under the tree on Christmas day
+
One thing's for certain, someone's to blame
+
When they find you wrapped in plastic and cellophane
+
Tell em, boys!
+
Dale Cooper was the best lawman in this country, and that's a fact
+
He liked to eat himself a piece of cherry pie and drink his coffee black
+
Mike and Bobby were in the lockup, Agent Cooper, he set them free
+
This here's the work of a salty dog, not of a couple of two-bit thieves
+
The town hall meeting came to order with people up in arms
+
The special agent stood his ground, refused to raise alarm
+
While everybody was out pointing fingers, mourning the loss of their homecoming queen
+
Dale Cooper laid right down to sleep and met the killer in his dreams
+
Wrapped in plastic and cellophane
+
Like a present nobody ever wants to find under the tree on Christmas day
+
One thing's for certain, someone's to blame
+
When they find you wrapped in plastic and cellophane
+
Where we are from
+
The birds sing a pretty song
+
And there's always music in the air
+
Where we are from
+
The birds sing a pretty song
+
And there's always music in the air
+
Life ain't always happy endings, forgiveness and amends
+
Dale Cooper's trapped in the Black Lodge, and not even the Lord knows how to save him
+
If every day could be your last, leave nothing left unsaid
+
No stone unturned, no song unsung, until you wind up dead
+
And wrapped in plastic and cellophane
+
Like a present nobody ever wants to find under the tree on Christmas day
+
One thing's for certain, someone's to blame
+
When they find you wrapped in plastic and cellophane
+
They're gonna find you wrapped in plastic and cellophane
+
We'll all wind up wrapped in plastic and cellophane
+
