On July 11, 1991, a solar eclipse occurred in the sky
Over Los Angeles
At 10 A.M., the moon began to move in front of the sun,
And by 11 it covered 69 percent of it.
That morning, a couple of men and their children
Drove up to corral canyon road in Malibu,
Northwest of the city, to watch the event.
But as they reached the top, they were too horrified
By what they saw lying on the ground
To pay attention to the sky
The decomp Sherri Long
Strangled with her own bra
In her eyes the maggots thrive
Black orbits staring without life
Shannon too a prostitute
Working on sunset Hollywood
Strangled dead in Hollenbeck
Bra tightly bound 'round her neck
Marks the first strike of this
Mysterious Hollywood hat-trick
Irene Rodriguez was in a big mess
And turning tricks for her heroin
Under a trailer down by the river
The killer starts his brutal routine
Then drug abuse met devilish noose
After her death she was abused
Then drug abuse met devilish noose
After her death she was
Cutting off the shoulder strap
Incising the bra's side panel
Strap pulled through the section
Three cords causing less friction
Left ligature fixed at max.tension
A cruel offender by conviction
Abrupt stop after three
A refined modus operandi
Cold case and not a trace
Chasing a phantom without a face
Irene Rodriguez was in a big mess
And turning tricks for her heroin
Under a trailer down by the river
The killer starts his brutal routine
And so, seemingly out of nowhere,
A killer had materialized in Los Angeles in June 1991,
Murdered three of the city's streetwalkers,
With increasing frequency, and then stopped.
As summer turned into fall, the case went cold,
And it looked like the case about the three women
Strangled with their own bras would never be solved
