lyrics

I lay on the bed of knives
you've sharpened with your tongue.
I dance as the bullets pass
through my chest from your gun.
I take your hand and hold it
up against my throat.
Take the blade that you hold so near
and drag it ear to ear.

Because your love is like,
your love is like...

Murder,
murder in the first degree.
Murder,
murdering both you and me.
x2

Tie the rope around my neck
and I'll imagine it's jewelry.
Bury me in the ground and I promise
I'll wait if you promise me
that I'm your last victim
you'll prepare meticulously
and when you think of death,
you'll always think of me.

Murder,
murder in the first degree.
Murder,
murdering both you and me.
x2

Even as you kill me,
you still are touching me.
To see myself in your eyes
as they watch me die
is like watching you love me.

Murder,
murder in the first degree.
Murder,
murdering both you and me.
x4

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
