Erin McKeown - Details Of The Crime lyrics

I never look for love
But still it comes to kill breaking my locks
Doin it's dirt at will
So when you came for me
You were the big surprise over my shoulder
Out of the corner of my eyes

Now we dance a slow pantomime
A duet, a vignette, details of the crime

You were a fragrant wind
Blow through my dusty vault seasons of sex
Leaving a smell of salt

Summer fades into the wintertime
Still a sweat of regret, details of thе crime

Ripped from the pagеs of
Some cheap detective novels
Or from a mini-series mystery of the week
The trail of evidence so evidently obvious
How dare we speak?
I know myself I know my modus operandi
I solve the case before
The caper becomes clear
Who is the victim of my many misdemeanors?
I volunteer

Beyond logic, no internal rhyme
What we will forget of the threat
Details of the crime details of the crime

I never look for love but, I invite it still
Open my locks do with me what you will
