Crimes in the spring
Crimes in the spring
True Love calls for crimes in the spring.

Is it the heart or the head
split open in the bed?
You're playing host to a friend's ghost that you set wandering.

She told you who you were
and you listened to her.
Here you stand - filth-coated hands - while she cries "Madman" and "Murderer".

Toil and trouble bore this blood bubble
to burst and stain if not contained - your house reduced to rubble.
Your name forever accursed.

This is nice. It's pretty laid-back for, you know, horrible tragedy!
