The Murder Trilogy

Shaking like the devil when she lets me go
Got a new place and now it's so much better.
Falling over myself, the television's on,
I turn it off and smile.

Oh Jennifer, you know I always tried,
Before you say goodbye.

Leave the bourbon on the shelf and I'll drink it by myself,
And I'll love you endlessly, Darling don't you see,
I'm not satisfied until I hold you tight.

Give me one more chance tonight,
and I swear I'll make it right.
But you ain't got time for this,
and that wrecking bell is ringing,
And I'm not satisfied,
Until I hold you

Jennifer, tell me where I stand
And who's that boy holding your hand?
Oh Jennifer, you know I always tried.
Before you say goodbye.

Leave the bourbon on the shelf and I'll drink it by myself
I never liked your hair, those people that you lie with,
And I'm not satisfied until I hold you tight.
And I'll love you endlessly, darling don't you see
I can't be satisfied until I hold you tight.

Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself.
I'll love you endlessly
Darling don't you see,
I'm not satisfied.


I know what you want,
I'm gonna take you to a midnight show tonight.
If you can keep a secret,
I've got a blanket in the backseat of my mind
And a little place that sits beneath the sky.
She turned her face to speak, but no-one heard her cry.

Drive faster, boy.
Drive faster, boy.

I know there's a hope,
There's too many people tryin' to help me cope.
You've got a real short skirt,
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah yeah.

We were just in time,
Let me take a little more off your mind.
There's something in my head, somewhere in the back saying
"We were just a good thing, we were such a good thing."

Make it go away without a word,
But promise me you'll stay
And fix these things I've hurt.

Make it go away, oh.
Drive faster, boy.
Oh no.

The crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl.
With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls.
I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier of stars and atmosphere,
And watched her disappear into the midnight show.

Faster, faster, faster...
Oh no, no, no no....
If you can keep a secret, baby I can keep...
If you can keep a secret.
She said she loved me.
If you can keep a secret, I can keep a secret.
She said she loved me.
If you can keep a secret, baby I can keep...
If you can keep a secret.


We took a walk that night but it wasn't the same.
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain.
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go.
She couldn't scream while I held her close,
I swore I'd never let her go.

Tell me what you wanna know,
Oh come on, come on, come on.
There ain't no motive for this crime,
Jenny was a friend of mine,
So come on, come on, come on.
Woah-oh oh.

I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go so let me know if it's alright.
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth.
She couldn't scream while I held her close,
I swore I'd never let her go.

Tell me what you wanna know,
Oh come on, come on, come on.
And then you whisper in my ear,
"I know what you're doing here,
so come on, come on, come on."
There ain't no motive for this crime,
Jenny was a friend of mine,
so come on, come on, come on.
Woah-oh, oh.
