Pretty as a Novel Lyrics

He always was disguised

His glasses and his hat

Weapons drawn as she turns her back

Ditch their clothes and clear up the crime scene

The reader knows what she's seen

Part of his ploy so he could get away

Blackmail ready for her to say

I know it haunts her

Barely survive

But a secret isn't safe

If they're both alive

The knife in her back

His words are bullets ash

A method of attack

As it all fades to black

She's as pretty as a novel

He's as sweet as his lies

All the smoke and mirrors

Unconvicted of her crimes

I'll write the details and get a sketch

Publish stories out into the press

These songs are awfully similar

What did you expect

Talking about an unidentified subject

Part of my ploy so she could get away

Planned for years on print this may

She'll haunt her neighbors street until she crys

He'll rot away in jail

As she performs her lies

The knife in her back

His words are bullets ash

A method of attack

As it all fades to black

She's as pretty as a novel

He's as sweet as his lies

All the smoke and mirrors

Unconvicted of her crimes

He's a prolific killer remembered for generations

I planted evidence in his investigation

You underestimate my ability to write

It took a good damn author

I'm about to make this right

My sword is in his back

His knife is in my stash

My method of attack

I let it all fade to black

I'm as pretty as this novel

I'm as sweet as my lies

All these smoke and mirrors

Unconviced of my

of my crimes
