Over The Rhine - Murder lyrics

rate me

Murder

words: Detweiler and Bergquist

music: Detweiler, Bergquist and Hordinski

recording: Besides

Murder’s just a word

for lack of something else to say.

Murder’s just a game

for lack of something else to play.

Put your finger,

put your fingers on it.

Something’s got me,

something’s got my heart by the throat.

Blood is just a shade

on the palette of your blushing body.

Blood is not afraid

of all of this internal bleeding.

Put your finger,

put your fingers on it.

Something’s got me,

something’s got my heart by the throat.

Love is just a flame

burning us with indiscretion.

Love, is not to blame

if murder is a man’s invention.

Love is not a man’s invention.

Inhale, exhale, dovetail, set sail,

nightingale, blackmail, go to jail, make bail,

prevail, unveil every detail,

read my braille, put your fingers on it.
