Murder

 

Inside fires raging high….

Internal bleeding killing you

Those little tablets in the bottle

Only keep you longer in pain

(with rage)

Murder, Murder I cry

Murder, Murder I sob

Murder, Murder I see

Murder, Murder Slo-w-l-y

(soften, tune change)

Burn fire burn again

Spread, spread around

Turn black then turn blue

End with red food col’ring

 

The iris and lily

Had a battle over you

Both sets of petals

Plucked off in careless anger

(added rage)

Murder, Murder I cry-y

Murder, Murder I so-b

Murder, Murder I see-e

Murder, Murder Slo-w-l-y

(even softer then before)

There’s a wicker basket in the window

Next to the wicker chair

I saw you sitting in the basket

I knew you’d never cure

 

Distant runner sprit

Bring me the news

Tell me, tell me-e-e

Whom shall I choose

(adding rage, tune chance back to beginning)

Murder, Murder I cry

Murder, Murder I sob

Murder, Murder I see

Murder, Murder Slo-w-l-y

(soften, wraping words around and quickened climax in middle, then fade back to original tempo)

I thought I heard a choir

Singing your praises

I thought I saw a flower girl

prance in front of you

But only a mirage

Nothing like that comes true

Black, Black, and blacker still

Grows the night

 

Fuzzy dreams haunt you

Opaque orange masked your frown

Stars are not with you

Died before you’re born

(adding rage)

Murder, Murder I cry

Murder, Murder I sob

Murder, Murder I see

Murder, Murder Slo-w-l-y

(soften just a little)

Chocolate can’t help you now

No class can right this wrong

Left behind a world of love

Fallen from his arms

 

Such a child, such a mem’ry

Not to sore at all

It doesn’t matter anyway

This life doesn’t care at all

(softer then other’s, more remorseful)

Murder, Murder I cry

Murder, Murder I sob

Murder, Murder I see

Murder, Murder Slo-w-l-y
