From the recording The Original and Genuine
Lyrics
Murder
Murder
When you’re in the street
Murder
My heart won’t beat
Murder
In the first degree
Murder
You’re killin’ me
Baby please throw me a line
I’m drowning in your eyes
I may look like I’m swimmin’ fine
But if you won’t be mine I’ll die
Chorus
There aught to be some law against
The way love tortures me
It tears my heart out my the roots
And boots it up a tree
Chorus
I’ve pasted on my sweetest smile
My face is turning red
But you don’t even notice me
It’s killin’ me stone dead
Chorus x2
