Murder In Camden Lyrics

Oh we should burn this city
And find an easy way out.
Oh when you dance you're pretty.
No time for turning around

I, I, I!
I don't know what time the world ends.
God damn sure!
Ain't far from now...

So won't you tell me the answer
If you don't want this
It's not a natural disaster
Just a kiss, one kiss
It's just a (woah)
It's just a (woah)
And nobody needs to know
If you don't want me to go.

Oh we should burn this city
Leave them to tear it down
Slap on your dancing boots
Get down and head south bound.

I, I, I!
I don't know what time the world ends
God damn sure!
Ain't far from now...

So won't you tell me the answer
If you don't want this
It's not a natural disaster
Just a kiss, one kiss
It's just a (woah)
It's just a (woah)
And nobody needs to know
If you don't want me to go

Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah

I, I, I!
I don't know what time the world ends
God damn sure!
Ain't far from this...

So won't you tell me the answer
If you don't want this
It's not a natural disaster
Just a kiss, one kiss
It's just a (woah)
It's just a (woah)
And nobody needs to know
If you don't want me to go.

Your seem so...

I'm pretty sure I stuffed up the lyrics because I was going by what I could hear.._____. I hate living in Australia 'cause there is no access to good music.

.> I've discussed this with a friend and we both think this is about a suicide bomber who has a girlfriend/boyfriend/mate who doesn't want him to do it, and he's telling them to get away before he does bomb it. Then again, no one really knows who Zero Cipher is, or most of their fans don't come on here. <.<

I think your meaning is pretty close, but you've got a few of the words wrong which is what has thrown you off.

I think it's the chorus which is different to how you've got it;

"I, I, I, don't know what time the world ends / God Damn Sure! / It ain't far from now...so won't you

Tell me the answer if you don't want this it's not a natural disaster just a kiss, one kiss, it's just a (woah), it's just a (woah) and nobody needs to know, if you don't want me to go, then say so"

So, with that in mind, if I've got it right (and it's always kinda difficult to hear with Zero Cipher sometimes), I think it's about something unrequited, or maybe impossible (like, he/she is in love with someone that is taken, or dead, or of a different religion, or in another country). So, the suicide bomber is saying 'If you kissed me I wouldnt go and do this, and no-one would ever find out'.

Personally I like to think its about a muslim who is in love with a non-muslim but cant let anyone find out or it would be trouble for them. But that's just my idea. Great song!

Thanks for the corrections! I'll fix it up ASAP. (Can't now... School ): )

Actually, I think your meaning sounds better than mine. xD Glad to know someone else likes them.
