Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him
Simply a look can break your heart
The stars that pierce the sky
He left them all behind
We're left to wonder why
He left us all behind
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Dreams of his crash won't pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down
The stars that mystify
He left them all behind
And how his children cry
He left us all behind
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
What's the hook, the twist, within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it
That the ghost you love, your ray of light will fizzle out
Without hope
We're the empty set, just flowing through, wrapped in skin
Ever-searching for what we were promised
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go
But who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him
Simply a look can break your heart
The stars that pierce the sky
He left them all behind
We're left to wonder why
He left us all behind
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Dreams of his crash won't pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down
The stars that mystify
He left them all behind
And how his children cry
He left us all behind
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
What's the hook, the twist, within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it
That the ghost you love, your ray of light will fizzle out
Without hope
We're the empty set, just flowing through, wrapped in skin
Ever-searching for what we were promised
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go
But who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?

hey guys. not really a big afi fan (havent heard enough to call myself a fan i dont think) but i really like this song. while i have only read the 1st page of comments...anyone thought that it may be about someone losing a father ("Dreams of his crash won't pass Oh, how they all adored him) and maybe an issue with the will (Ever searching for what we were promised Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go But who would ever let us put their filthy hands upon it?) and the beauty could be the normality before the death?? i dont know much about the band or their songwriting style but could this be a possibility? great song though. had to ask so many people what it was cos the radio station i heard it on plays lots of good music without mentioning song names or artists so they can play more good music.
