Murder (Or A Heart Attack)
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.
And the hole
In the screen is barely big enough for you
And not near enough for me to go
And the whole damn complicated
Situation could've been
Avoided if I'd only shut the window
CHORUS:
And I may be leavin' myself open
To a murder or a heart attack
But I'm leavin' the back door open
'Til you come back, 'til you come back
And I may be movin' myself closer
To a real untimely end
But I'm leavin' the back door open
'Til you come home again, 'til you come home again
And I told
The neighbors, I put pictures up
And handed out some flyers at the show
And the whole town speculating
Situation could've been
Avoided if I'd only shut the window
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
