It's such an innocent song, it gives me chills to suddenly realize that this is about murder... Realizing that, since I'd never stopped to think about it (thanks pritty), the whole song kind of takes on this menacing feel. The music and tone of voice is so casual, so apathetic, that it's frightening. Even if the "murder" is a metaphorical one (which I somehow doubt), the insanity of the narrator is all too obvious. I like the way it was played up by the sentence fragments and nonsensical wording.
