lyrics

You've got murder on your mind
You've got murder on your mind

And now I know why you gave me that knife
Shaking so slightly in the morning light
with a mark on your face and some hay in your hair
giving me your sweetest evening stare
and begging me not to go to town today,
saying it's better to hold tight and pray.
So give your prayers to the birds and burn your sin with the hay.
I know a lot of things I'd rather not say and . . .

You've got murder on your mind
You've got murder on your mind

I know some people call me paranoid and mean
just because I go out walking with my AR-15,
but they'll never know how it feels
to be forever haunted by the sound of steel
crashing and clanging and cutting into bone,
taking your son to his heavenly home
and making your husband scream in his sleep,
reach for the hatchet and run for the Jeep.

You've got murder on your mind
You've got murder on your mind

And now you've got a murder on your hands
You've got murder on your hands
and the blood stains the sheets and it runs through the sand
I don't think I can sleep anymore
I feel like a prisoner in a losing war cause . . .

You've got murder on your hands
You've got murder on your hands

And they're taking you away and they're gonna make you stand
They're gonna label you a dying man
and they'll fire away.
Are you ready to die today?

You've got murder on your hands
You've got a murder on your hands

Down below the ground so cold
lies the one I used to hold
Down below the ground so cold
lies the one I used to hold
and I'm still standing still
watching the harriers hunt down the hill

Paisley Nightmare Emeryville, California

One thing band. 2012 - 2017. Weird sounds inspired by the death of the hippie movement and the birth of punk rock. Skewed by disabilities I was dealing with at the time. These are all live single track recordings of the creature playing all of the instruments at once in its cave. Some has been taken down pending review by the artist ... more
