From the new EP '3'.

lyrics

they say that love will heal with time
first it makes you blind
then it thrills your mortal soul
that maybe life is kind but you gotta know that
in the end you'll die
one of you will lie
and maybe you might die from an edge that's
sharper than the knife
my pretty josephine
so innocent and clean
now the year's turned love to dust
indifferent and mean

what do you expect from a pattern made of molecules
why do you think love's more than a vortex in the chemicals
love's the lovely brother of guilt and shame
i try so hard but i forget your name baby
jump to the chorus peggiating my fame

josephine i love you baby
josephine you're in my heart
love you 'til the end of all my life

when i think of her at night
everything in mind
sliding back in time
all my childhood rivers run
down to just this one and only
always and forever alone
never thinking she might
break your heart

said lovely josephine: not heard and not seen
walk ten feet behind your dark queen
can't have the other boys thinking she's taken
illegal on the scene for the hot j-phine
all the other little fanboy hearts'd be broken

you got my soul but my body is a token
my face the last thing that a million men see
a million little 'oh's' and then they go to sleep
dream all night of the lovely josephine
now write me a song that tells me i'm deep

josephine i love you baby
more than i love life

while i dream of her all day
my lonely little sorry life slowly drifts away
all my sunny summer days
raptured by her face her
irresistible grace and light
never thinking she might
break your heart

about

The Murder Merchants Sacramento, California

The Murder Merchants are a band of Tokyo miscreants who roam about on gleaming dirt-bikes with katanas strapped to their backs. Or it's possible they're protagonists in a very strange reality being beamed into this locale from outside the universe, just like all of us. It could also be that they're oafish aiens with a penchant for selling murder? I don't know. Freaks me out. ... more
