It's been 40 years of questions
And another 5 in vain
There's only speculation
Over faces, dates and names
But the case remains unbroken
And the Cipher is unsolved
Through all the years and all the fears
They've caught no-one at all
A couple's favourite Rendezvous
September by the lake
That summer night would change their lives
And see them to their graves
They'll never make it home again
From that day down by the shore
They'll rest in pieces there forever more
That's the thing with the end
You don't know when it's coming
There he left you for dead
And he took off running
A .44 in his hand
And an eye for a killing
No regret or remorse
For the blood he's spilling
"Print my message in the paper
California fear my name
No-one here, is safe my Dear
From Tahoe to The Bay"
And it's been decades since that moment
Since that night out on the track
Yet no-one ever caught the Zodiac
Maybe it got out of control
Just a basket case or face of murderous ego?
