Murderous Joy Lyrics by Carter Tanton

Freeclouds

2011

[Verse 1]
Standin' in the wake of a sleepin' pill now
Stayin' up for days in the poppy fields now
So if I see you on the streets and I don't call
Know my mind see-saws
[Verse 2]
In backbeat time, I understand now
The joker and the ace, how to play my hand now
When the lion doth roar, I creep on by
And make another copy of the key to the sky
[Chorus]
I need just a little time to sing you a line
You won't soon forget
About a wide-eyed boy and the murderous joy
Words to a song he sets
Give me just a little time
[Verse 3]
So blush, baby, blush when the sun goes down now
I feel half-dead in my murder ballad crown now
I'll come alive in the final hour
Though my mind see-saws
[Verse 4]
Standin' in the wake of a sleepin' pill now
Stayin' up for days in the poppy fields now
So if I see you on the streets and I don't call
I made another copy of the key to the sky
Know my mind see-saws
[Chorus]
I need just a little time to sing you a line
You won't soon forget
About the wide-eyed boy and the murderous joy
And words to a song he sets
I need just a little time to sing you a line
You won't soon forget
About the wide-eyed boy and the murderous joy
And words to a song he sets
[Post-Chorus]
Give me just a little time
I need just a little time
[Instrumental Outro]
