Murder On My Mind

When a rough day is behind me And all the tension is still there When rage is flowing through my veins And I'm tearing out my hair When the evening sky is as red as blood And my anger as full as the moon You can feel my fury burning Tell an explosion is coming soon I really cannot help it There's murder on my mind And once I get that feeling There's just one way to unwind There's no slow-burn to this temper It's a full-on raging storm I'm all too keen to vent my spleen I'll make them wish they were never born The result is always chaos My victims don't have a chance But oh, it gets really messy As through my mission I advance And there's no doubt about it I'm efficient and I'm mean I don't care about the fall out When I'm that wound up and keen I confess the sight of body parts Is a relief from my daily grind Heads and legs and torsos tumble When I've murder on my mind I bet you're keen to judge me Denounce my actions as a sin But there is no mercy for gingerbread men As I reach for my biscuit tin
