T-Bone Burnett

T-Bone Burnett - The Murder Weapon lyrics

It can kill from any distance but you never see it strike

There isn't any warning, no blinding flash of light

It hits you when your back's turned or when your eyes are closed

There isn't any shelter and it cannot be controlled

It can be as subtle as a whisper in the dark

Or as brutal and as cutting as the teeth of a shark

The murder weapon

The murder weapon

There is no good description for the way it makes you feel

It's as lethal as a stiletto and more easily concealed

It sometimes is strategic and sometimes not at all

But you get caught in the fallout, win, lose or draw

There is no escape except to go completely mad

If it doesn't kill you right at first it makes you wish it had

The murder weapon

The murder weapon

The murder weapon

The murder weapon
