The Kill
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Moved in a hired car and I find no way to run
Adds every moment longer, had no time for fun
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I left my eyes on you
I had an impulse to clear it all away
I used the tactics, make everybody pay
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I left my eyes on you
I keep it all clean, I've paid the graces there
No kings of misuse, no sellers of flesh
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I left my eyes on you
Yeah, through it all, I kept my eyes on you
Yeah, through it all, I kept my eyes on you
