Murderer

The air is still

The moon a yellow fingernail

It smells like gin beneath the junipers

A scraping sound

Shovel in the muddy ground

I hope you thought to bring a change of shoes

Listen dear

We have a situation here

Someone's picking up what we put down

Oh my word

I got it from a little bird

It might be better if we're not around

Murderer

Whatcha gonna do

I'm a murderer too

Murderer

Say it 'cause it's true

You're a murderer too

Your pouty lip

Chewing on a fingertip

A troubled look across your face

Narrow squint

Did we wipe the fingerprints

How can be sure that we left no trace

Murderer

Whatcha gonna do

I'm a murderer too

Murderer

Say it 'cause it's true

You're a murderer too

Sin or crime

I think we might have crossed a line

I fear my dear there is no turning back

Do you recall the moment when we lost it all

A clenched fist gone slack

Murderer

Whatcha gonna do

I'm a murderer too

Murderer

Say it 'cause it's true

You're a murderer too
