Moved in a hired car and I find no way to run
Hurts every moment longer, had no time for fun
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
I had an impulse to clear it all away
I used the tactics, make everybody pay
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
Oh, I keep it all clean, I've paid the graces there
No kings of misuse, no sellers of flesh
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
Yeah through it all I kept my eyes on you
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
Hurts every moment longer, had no time for fun
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
I had an impulse to clear it all away
I used the tactics, make everybody pay
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
Oh, I keep it all clean, I've paid the graces there
No kings of misuse, no sellers of flesh
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
Yeah through it all I kept my eyes on you
But through it all I kept my eyes on you

Counting on you - really no threats
The waiting is through - deciphering the scars
Just who fooled who - sit still in their cars
It's another, 'nother, 'nother, 'nother kill --
I can smell through you - your talking's a lie
They turn on to you, before they say "die"
Wrapped in your trunk - to reach out the safe case
So I can detect - the longer it's taking
It's another, 'nother, 'nother, 'nother kill --
Dangerous cues - set by distraction
Deprived of all use, nor in satisfaction
Total destruction - the worst ever met
Kept in apartment - sublimely for you
Who's got the front stage, to keep you in rocks?
Who's got the vision, that puts in the locks?
Loss of all resource - forced into your head
Just that it was - whacked into the air
It's another, 'nother, 'nother, 'nother kill
See?
Thats why I got completely different lyrics to the kill that I was looking for.
This song is great, that's all I have to say.
"Moved in a hired car and I find no way to run" - I've reached a dead end.
"Hurts every moment longer - had no time for fun" - Obvious. Every moment's a torment, nothing brings me joy.
"Just something that I knew I had to do" - Suicide.
"clear it all away" - The same.
"I used the tactics - make everybody pay" - I thought: They'd hurt me. I'll put me life to an end, to make them see what they've done, to make them suffer (feel guilty, miss me).
The last verse repeated throughout the song is IMO adressed to a loved one.
"But through it all I kept my eyes on you" - 'I was about to do it, but then I thought about you'.
"Oh, I keep it all clean - I've paid the graces there
No kings of misuse - no sellers of flesh"
Don't know. Anyone?
Sounds optimistic - Very orignial as for JD :]
I think that Ian had been pretty clear about his intentions!
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
Yeah through it all I kept my eyes on you
But through it all I kept my eyes on you:
I think hes talking directly to his wife in this one. Hes saying even though I had an affair with this other girl I have always loved you. (see the movie Control)
