murder by degrees

Committing murder by degrees I learned that crimes come to us all in threes When I killed his love and I killed his wife And I was the poison that ended his future life But the crime fit the punishment Yeah, my crime fit his punishment So I'll ask that the jury pities me And maybe they're right It's all coming to light That a psychopath is better off alone That a killer's hearth is no place to make a home I admit my crime, and I'll do my time So please spare me a murder by degrees No need to question the witness I'll never deny that I did this to you Cause you asked me to So after everything, this is how it ends Not with a bang or a whimper Just murder on my hands Yeah, I've got murder on my hands But the crime fit the punishment Yeah, my crime fit his punishment So I'll ask that the jury pities me Yeah, I'll ask that the jury pities me I've got murder on my hands
