Song lyrics
Stay out of the light
Or the photographs that I gave you
You can say a prayer if you need to
Or just get in line and I’ll grieve you
Can I meet you, alone
Another night and I’ll see you
Another night and I’ll be you
Some other way to continue
To hide my face

Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty, babe
The kind of dirty
Where the water never cleans off the clothes
I keep a book of the names and those
Only go so far to bury them
So deep and down we go

Touched by angels though, I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe I’d live this everyday

Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I’m so dirty, babe
It ain't the money
And it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It’s for the bodies I claim and those
Only go so far to bury them
So deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down

I try

I try

And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We’ll love again, we'll laugh again
And it's better off this way

And never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

Well never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

I tried, one more night, one more night
Well I’m laughing', crying', laughing'
I tried, well I tried, well I tried
Cause I tried, but I lied
I tried, I tried, I tried

And we'll love again and we'll laugh again
We’ll CRY again and we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better off this way
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed

Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

To stwjester: Rock on! That's a cool interpretation! However, I think that the song is better taken in the literal sense. Meaning, the whole serial killer/assassin/ murderer context. Hahaha.

And we'll all dance along to the tune of your death...

You know what? I just realized that this song only has one real verse. The rest are like a series of little bridges. Hmmm...I also love the screaming ending and in betweens.

Oh, and this song is uber perfect for House of Wax. "It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame, It's for the bodies I claim..."

One of the best songs on the album. 'Jetset', 'Cemetary' and 'Venom' are the other good ones 3.

Gerard said on a Fuse interview that they just made the action figures for fun. They weren't expecting to actually get profits from them. Just updating you ^^

this song is definitely one of my favorites and i love all the songs on their cds. it's just awesome how they're able to be able to relate their songs to peoples lives, and still make them so personal. MCR is absolutely amazing.

Soo, this is definately not how the song goes..and whoever corrected it, they did it fucking wrong...this is a demo on this cd...and its completely different than the other one...so for anyone who cares...here's the correct version for "Life on the Murder Scene"


Far from this return
I fall out of grace
I dig my hole
I put the dead bodies in every day
You can't take this life
Take it back from me
I live my whole life baby
I live this everyday

You see your life in my hands
Your love is covered
In blood and piss
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe

It ain't about money
And it ain't for the
Dark red that you go
You see your heart in my hands
Let go

And go so far
And bury them
In a hole so deep

Back from this return
I fall out of grace
I dig this hole that I
Put dead bodies in every day
I see your life in my hands
And now it's covered
In blood and piss
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe

It ain't for money, baby, baby
I just do it for fame
It's for the glory, baby
And blood stains

And goes so far
And buries them
So hard and deep
We'll both go

I tried...I tried...
And we'll all dance along
To the tune of your death
We'll laugh again
We'll cry again
And it's better off this way

Well never again
And never again
They gave us two shots
To the back of the head
And we're all dead now
Well never again
And never again
They gave us two shots
To the back of the head
And we're all dead now

I tried...
One more night...
I tried...
I tried...I tried

I tried...I tried...I tried...I tried...

And we'll love again
We'll laugh again
We'll cry again
And we'll dance again

And it's better off this way
So much better off this way
And I know in your heart
That you wanted to die!

Well never again
And never again
They gave us two shots through
The back of our heads
And we're all dead now...
