Moonlight City Drive

About Moonlight City Drive

A self-righteous killer terrorizing the streets. A detective hot on his trail. An army of ghouls pulling the puppet strings. No one gets out alive …

11:18 p.m. Subject is checking into the Desert Palms Motel, accompanied by an unknown female …

Snapshot in the parking lot. Man and woman embrace. Betrayal, I see it every day, like my own reflection in the mirror staring back at me. Another case, another bottle of booze, life is no longer a mystery to me … Because I’m the private eye, hot on your trail; the top gun for hire. You’ll find me lurking in the shadows, always searching for a clue. I’m the bulletproof detective. I got my eye on you …

What’s a little sin under the covers, what’s a little blood between lovers? What’s a little death to be discovered, cold stiff body under the covers? I’m digging you a desert grave, underneath the burning sun. You won’t be found by anyone. Vultures circle in the sky, and you, my dear, are the reason why.

… I was always easily influenced.
