The Murder Weapon

It can kill from any distance

But you never see it strike

There isn't any warning, no blinding flash of light

It hits you when your back's turned

Or when your eyes are closed

There isn't any shelter and it cannot be controlled



It can be as subtle as a whisper in the dark

Or as brutal and cutting as the teeth of a shark



[Chorus]

The murder weapon

The murder weapon



There is no good description

For the way it makes you feel

It's as lethal as a stiletto and more easily concealed

It sometimes is strategic

And sometimes not at all

But you get caught in the fallout, win lose or draw



There is no escape except to go completely mad

If it doesn't kill you right at first, it makes you wish it had



[Chorus]
