AFI Lyrics
"Miss Murder"

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I take my life?

Whoa-oh-ohh

With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him
Simply a look can break your heart

The stars that pierce the sky
He left them all behind
We're left to wonder why
He left us all behind

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I, take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh

Dreams of his crash won't pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down

The stars that mystify
He left them all behind
And how his children cried
He left us all behind

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I, take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh

What's the hook, the twist within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it
That the ghost you love
Your ray of light will fizzle out without hope
We're the empty set just floating through, wrapped in skin
Ever searching for what we were promised
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go
But who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I, take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I, take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
