[Verse 1]
I would drown in your holy water
Got a taste, now I'm going under
And let the world just fade away
Treat me bad like I'm no one's daughter
Body bag, baby I'm a goner
And let it all just fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
Just put your hands around my throat
Ain't been to heaven but I'm close
Your love is a murder
Your love is a murder
I'll let you touch me sweet and slow
Just take my body and my soul
Your love is a murder
Your love is a murder
[Chorus]
In your bed just the way that God made me
Cover me up, baby, just lay me
In the dirt 'til I'm pushing up daisies, oh-oh
You got a dark side and it don't phase me
Cover me up, baby, just lay me
In the dirt 'til I'm pushing up daisies, oh
Your love is a murder
[Verse 2]
Like a virgin, a Madonna (Madonna)
On my knees praying for a hunter
You got a wild heart in your cage
Little death but I want another
And another and another
I want it bad and I got no shame (I got no shame)
[Pre-Chorus]
Just put your hands around my throat
Ain't been to heaven but I'm close
Your love is a murder
Your love is a murder
I'll let you touch me sweet and slow
Just take my body and my soul
Your love is a murder
Your love is a murder
[Chorus]
In your bed just the way that God made me
Cover me up, baby, just lay me
In the dirt 'til I'm pushing up daisies, oh-oh
You got a dark side and it don't faze me
Cover me up, baby, just lay me
In the dirt 'til I'm pushing up daisies, oh
[Bridge]
Redrum in my bedroom
If you want some, come get some
Woah-oh (Love is a, love is a)
Woah-oh (Love is a, love is a), yeah
Redrum in my bedroom
If you want some, come get some
Woah-oh (Love is a, love is a)
Woah-oh (Love is a, love is a)
[Chorus]
In your bed just the way that God made me
Cover me up, baby, just lay me
In the dirt 'til I'm pushing up daisies, oh-oh (Love is a, love is a)
You got a dark side and it don't faze me
Cover me up, baby, just lay me (Just lay)
In the dirt 'til I'm pushing up daisies, oh
[Outro]
Your love is a, love is a, love is a
Your love is a, love is a
Love is a, love is a
Murder
Your love is a, love is a
Your love is a, love is a
Murder
LOVE IS A… was written by JT Daly & Sean Van Vleet & Lynn Gunn.
PVRIS released LOVE IS A… on Thu May 18 2023.
I wanted to write a sexy and sultry love song that captured all facets of love, the dark parts and the beautiful. The cyclical nature of it all.
