Murder! Murder! American Murder Song

Tear the roots up from the floor
Board and tar against the door
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Sink the tooth into the wood
Still the horses with a hood
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Raise the book and cast the oil
Fingers in the father’s soil
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Murder be thy name, out, out
Murder be thy name

When the lung fills up with straw
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
Cut the wire from the jaw
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
When the eye reflects the moon
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
Hold the tongue down with a spoon
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
When the throat spills in the bowl
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
Pry the altar from the hole
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Murder be thy name, out, out
Murder be thy name
