TITLE. LYRICS

Concert version

The kill

Moved in a hired car and I find no way to run
Hurts every moment longer, had no time for fun
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you

I had an impulse to clear it all away
I used the tactics, make everybody pay
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you

Oh, I keep it all clean, I've paid the graces there
No kings of misuse, no sellers of flesh
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
Yeah, through it all I kept my eyes on you
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
