[Lyric] I Can See A Murder (The Scaramanga Six)

[Verse 1]
There was a man
An ordinary man
Who had a little secret in his life

One Summer's day
He dug a little grave
And filled it with the body of his dead, dead wife

Down on his knees
He looked up to the trees
A dozen pairs of beady little eyes

Feathers black and sleek
Daggerlike beaks
"To what you have done we are wise!"

[Chorus 1]
I can see a murder, I can see a murder
I can see a murder, I can
I can see a murder, I can see a murder
I can see a murder, I can
[Verse 2]
Driving to work
With blood still on his shirt
He tries to keep his mind on the wheel

But each way he looks
There's jackdaws and rooks
Perched on every lamppost and patrolling all the fields

The hooded crow
Beak knows where to go
Penetrates the belly of the land

Is this a dagger
I see before me?
Its handle points towards my hand

[Chorus 1]
I can see a murder, I can see a murder
I can see a murder, I can
I can see a murder, I can see a murder
I can see a murder, I can

[Bridge]
Tries to hide but there are spies in the skies, oh why-
[Chorus 2]
Why-oh-why, why-oh-why, why-oh-why-oh-why
Won't you die?
Fly away, fly away, fly-a-fly away
To the sky

[Verse 3]
It's one for sorrow
And two for a show

Oh, does your beauty
Conceal your cruelty?

You remind me of a girl I know
Those days are over now
Or are they?

[Chorus 2]
Why-oh-why, why-oh-why, why-oh-why-oh-why
Won't you die?
Fly away, fly away, fly-a-fly away
Into the sky

[Outro]
You're killing me
I see a murder
I see it, oh
Fly away Peter
Fly away Paul
