The blood on the couch tells a story, I know.
Stained on the floor and all over my clothes.
I need to leave but I just wanna stay.
Hoping in time this will all go away.

Shutting my mouth, keeping you in the dark.
Play my cards right I just might light a spark.
I just wanna tell you what happened last night.
But I fear if I do things are far from alright.

I did a bad thing and it was my fault.
Set up the ball then the dominoes fall.
I did a bad thing and there's no one to call.
I believe what I did can't believe what I saw.

House 5268 down on Northburry street.
I fixed my brain and turned my mind to debris.
My body is cold and my blood is all wrong.
Standing over the mess I still hum that song.

I did a bad thing and the did's turned to don'ts.
I'm hoping next time I am sure that I won't.
Lie to the cops then lie I on the ground.
Cover my ears to ignore all the sounds.

Standing over the mess I still hum that song.

Goodnight my darling it was nice to see you.
But your blood fell out and your face went blue.
Don't know what I did but I know what I'll do.
Turn the gun 180 and quit pointing at you.
