Murder Songtext
von Settle

I was trying hard to remember her name
It′s been so long since I'd seen her last
Her face was the only thing that remained
Pale and innocent on that scandalous frame

Sitting cross-legged, her foot like a clock
T-t-t-ticking nervously, it never stopped
She swallowed my face, devoured my eyes
I hadn′t changed, she knew I hadn't changed
She's just a memory now

Murder!
She cried, you devil
Give back what you′ve taken from me
Murder!
She cried, you devil
You knew me once and you threw me away

At night we′d walk under the trees
We'd joke about being burnt by the moon
She always said she wanted everything
She held my hand tighter as we neared a park bench


Nostalgia′s king when your nights are alone
I swam the seas before I found someone
And there she was locking eyes with a stranger
She was busy wishing she had time to change this
She's just a memory now

Murder!
She cried, you devil
Give back what you′ve taken from me
Murder!
She cried, you devil
You knew me once and you threw me away
Murder!
She cried, you devil
Give back what you've taken from me
Murder!
She cried, she cried, she cried


Murder!
She cried, you devil
Give back what you′ve taken from me
Murder!
She cried, you devil
You knew me once and you threw me away
Murder!
She cried, you devil
Give back what you've taken from me
Murder!
She cried, you devil
You knew me once and you threw me away
Murder!
She cried, you devil
Give back what you've taken from me
Murder!
She cried, she cried, she cried

Murder!
