When I Decide

Darlin' there's a river near the house where I grew up

And I think it might be moving fast enough

And there's a silence there so thick that you could stick a knife in it

Or anything that you've been dreaming of

And you should know that my affections are always true

And my heart's got a tricky valve that beats for nobody but you

And when I decide to kill you

I'll do it with my hands

And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman

My words may seem mighty hollow

But don't doubt that I can

'Cause I've got long fingers for a woman

Last night I found a note you wrote and left inside my room

And picked apart thе words you didn't choose

I wrote out evеry one and then I hid them around your room

This love is bound with heart and guts and glue

May I say that my intentions are through and through

And there's a twitch in my left eyebrow that tics for nobody but you

And when I decide to kill you

I'll do it with my hands

And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman

My words may seem mighty hollow

But don't doubt that I can

'Cause I've got long fingers for a woman

If I should seem distracted

Oh, you needn't be confused

'Cause darlin', you have no idea the things I'd do for you

There's a hole that's in the wall there

And I put it there for you

'Cause darlin' you have no idea the things I'd do to you

And when I decide to kill you

I'll do it with my hands

And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman

My words may seem mighty hollow

But don't doubt that I can

'Cause I've got long fingers for a woman
