Beginnings

[Verse 1]

There's something about the scent of gasoline;

Its an addiction for the crime scene

The way the light seems to shine on everything

Right before the sirens sound

We've gone through this before

[Chorus]

And this is textbook manipulation, but darling, I've

But darling, I've heard more convincing excuses from

From red hands

[Verse 2]

"It's been a long night" she said before I hit the lights

[Bridge]

This is passion where, where you least expect it

A kind of beauty, a sickening concern

This is passion where, where you least expect it

A kind of beauty, a sickening concern

[Chorus]

And this is textbook manipulation, but darling, I've

But darling, I've heard more convincing excuses from

From red hands

[Outro]

I've fallen into open arms of a stretcher

From a second story window

Into the open arms

(Someone once said that love overcomes all things)

Falling from a second story window

(That someone didn't know you)

Into the open arms of a stretcher

Of a stretcher, of a stretcher
