Murder, He Says
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.
Finally found a fella
Almost completely divine
But his vocabulary
Is killing this romance of mine
We get into an intimate situation
And then begins this character's conversation
He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
At a time like this
He says, murder, he says
Is that the language of love?
He says, solid, he says
Takes me in his arms
And says, solid, he says
Meaning all my charms
He says, solid, he says
Is that the language of love?
He says, chick chick
You torture me
Zink, are we livin?
I'm thinkin of leaving him flat
He says, dig dig the jumps
The old ticker is giving
He can talk plainer than that
He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
Keep it up like this
And that, murder, he says
In that impossible tone
Will bring on nobody's murder
But his own
He says, Jackson, he says
And my name's Marie
He says, Jackson, he says
Shoot the snoot for me
He says, Jackson, he says
Is that the language of love?
He says, mmmhmm
When he likes my hat
He says, tsk tsk tsk
What the heck is that?
He says, woo hoo! he says
Is that the language of love?
He says hep hep with helium
Now babe, we're cookin
And other expressions, to wit:
He says, we're in the groove
And the groove is good lookin
Sounds like his uppers don't fit!
He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
Keep it up like this
In that, murder, he says
In that impossible tone
Will bring on nobody's murder
But his own
