Carter Tanton Murderous Joy lyrics

Standing in the wake of a sleeping pill now
Staying 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

In back beat time I understand now
The joker and the ace and how to play my hand now
So when the lion doth roar I creep on by
And make another copy of the key to the sky

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
When words to a song he sets
Give me just a little time

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...

Standing in the wake of a sleeping pill now

Staying 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

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
When 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
When words to a song he sets

Give me just a little time
I need just a little time
