Lyrics

Bloody Murderer

There's a ghost in my bed
She cries in her sleep
She says I won't let her leave
I lie perfectly still
She stifles her tears
I don't wanna disturb her

"Let go, let go, please let me be
Look at the ghost you've made of me"

Dusk dropped her starry gown
I whispered out
"Sweetie
Are you here with me?"

The mirror crashed on the dresser
And she began to scream
"Bloody murderer!
Let me rest in peace!"

Hey!

"When I was yours, you fled the scene
Now you can't wash your hands of me"

Bloody murder
Bloody murder
Bloody murderer
You can't hear the screams
Bloody murder
