Over the Rhine - Murder lyrics

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
