This Could Be Love

The real line is "I touch myself at thoughts of flames" I believe this is referring to the homicidal triad. Many serial killers are sexually aroused by fire and it has been common for them to start fires and "touch themselves" while watching it. I think Matt Skiba knows about this and the song is probably about some serial killer. But then again, it could entirely be a metaphor for something else.

Woo, new Alkaline Trio song from the new album.. 'Good Mourning'. Should be good, I think. Some of the lyrics are pretty wrong... but you tried your best, heh heh.

I got a book of matches I got a can of kerosene I got some bad ideas Involving you and me I don't blame you for walking away I touch myself it's awful flames I shat the bad and lay there in it Thinking of you, wide awake for days Wide awake for days

I found you tongue tied My twisted little brain You couldn't crack the smile I didn't catch your name I don't blame you for walking away I'd do the same if I saw me I swear it's not contagious Four short steps we can erase this...

Step one Slit my throat Step two Drink my blood Step three Cover me in dirty sheets And I'm laughing out of the house Step four Stop by lake Michigan, rinse your crimson hands You took me hostage and made your demands I couldn't meet 'em so you cut of my fingers One by one One by one

And like a broken record I got a needle scratching me It injects the poison Of alcohol I need I don't blame you for walking away I'd do the same if I saw me I swear it's not contagious I swear to god it's not contagious

Step one Slit my throat Step two Drink my blood Step three Cover me in dirty sheets And I'm laughing out of the house Step four Stop by lake Michigan, rinse your crimson hands You took me hostage and made your demands I couldn't meet ' em so you cut of my fingers

This could be love Love for fire This could be love Love for fire This could be love Love for fire This could be love For fire, for ever now

Step one Slit my throat Step two Drink my blood Step three Cover me in dirty sheets And I'm laughing out of the house Step four Stop by lake Michigan, rinse your crimson hands You took me hostage and made your demands I couldn't meet ' em so you cut of my fingers One by one One by one

this album is gonna kick ass, so far i like continental, all on black, and weve had enough.... once i put more time into the other songs im sure ill love them too. so glad alk didnt go downhill, after even their self-titled. rock on

All i have to say is i have the full cd. muhahha

The whole album is sick...but they changed this song a bit. The first location is something creek i think, the second is lake michagan and the third is Berkley marina. Since matt lived in chicago and southern california the third one is probably another place he lived or lake michagan is for dan who still lives in chicago and the first is for derek.

injects the poison of alcohol IV...

someone needs to get the rest of Good Mourning's lyrics up. this album is so awesome. another great one by alk3.
