I'll Take Famous Murders For $500 Lyrics

last night I woke up to you talking in your sleep
describing a room I've never smelt, I've never seen
here we go again, the rollercoaster breaks and bends

I lifted up your shirt, saw the scratches on your back
you said you never would, but a scar's a proven fact
come with me let's drive
take a trip where heaven lies

smile and wave, you're on your way
to hell and back girl you know you're drowning
with heavy heart you sank too far
to hell and back in a sea of deadly sin
I can see you sinking in
in a sea of deadly..

today I woke up to the static on the screen
looked left then right, then screamed in relief
where has your body gone?
where has your body gone?

I took my time, yeah I took it slow
peeled off your scabs before I let you go
into the waves I'm cursed
your shallow sin reversed

smile and wave, you're on your way
to hell and back girl you know you're drowning
with heavy heart you sank too far
to hell and back in a sea of deadly sin
I can see you sinking in
in a sea of deadly sin
I can see you sinking in
in a sea of deadly..

smile and wave, you're on your way
to hell and back girl you know you're drowning
with heavy heart you sank too far
to hell and back in a sea of deadly..

last night I woke up to you talking in your sleep
describing a room I've never smelt, I've never seen
here we go again, the rollercoaster breaks and bends
 
I lifted up your shirt, saw the scratches on your back
you said you never would, but a scar's a proven fact
come with me let's drive
take a trip where heaven lies
 
smile and wave, you're on your way
to hell and back girl you know you're drowning
with heavy heart you sank too far
to hell and back in a sea of deadly sin
I can see you sinking in
in a sea of deadly..
 
today I woke up to the static on the screen
looked left then right, then screamed in relief
where has your body gone?
where has your body gone?
 
I took my time, yeah I took it slow
peeled off your scabs before I let you go
into the waves I'm cursed
your shallow sin reversed

smile and wave, you're on your way
to hell and back girl you know you're drowning
with heavy heart you sank too far
to hell and back in a sea of deadly..

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is about this guy's girlfriend that cheated on him even though she said she loved him and would never hurt him. Then he killed her. There is a reference to her being swept away by the ocean but im not sure if it is literal because it also refereces that she's drowning in her sin.
