Murder
The Virgins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don?t injure me, no
Stale sheet slips
From her waist across her thighs
She cast the die on your plans
Chances on everything
You take your life in your hands
Wow murder the way she likes
Murder feels like
Murder the way she likes
Murder feels like
Lipstick smears
In the ashtray, oh
Could she
Be who she says, don?t lie
She cast the die on your plans
Chances on everything
You take your life in your hands
Wow murder the way she likes
Murder feels like
Murder the way she likes
Murder feels like
I don?t care what she?s done, I love you, we gotta get you outta here! how do you know she?s not gonna do the same thing to you?
Fuck it
She cast the die on your plans
Chances on everything
You take your life in your hands
Wow murder the way she likes
Murder feels like
Murder the way she likes
Murder feels like
Well somebody did you dirty
Spilled your tears onto the street
Well your heels already hurt
As you disappear
Tips are coming from a snitch
Said he saw who did the deed
And they?re turning up the heat
Crime wave stretches the beat
My shirt it clings to me because of you
I loved you I love you
Won?t let them put this shit on you
Picked you right out of a lineup
I got money we could get away from here
Somebody did you dirty
Maybe it was me
Somebody did you dirty
Maybe it was me
Somebody did you dirty
Maybe it was me
Somebody did you dirty
Maybe it was me
She cuts the way she likes
The lyrics of The Virgins’ “Murder” are cryptic, stirring, and intriguingly menacing. The song opens with the line “Shoot to kill”, which sets the ominous tone for the verses that follow. The singer pleads with his lover not to hurt or injure him, as they lay together under stale sheets that slip from her waist across her thighs. He wonders whether she is really who she says she is, as he notes the lipstick smears in the ashtray.
The chorus exclaims “Murder the way she likes”, and repeats “Murder feels like”, leaving the implications of the murder open to interpretation. Is it literal or metaphorical? The way the words are delivered – almost casually, with a hint of seduction – adds to the song’s thrillingly dark atmosphere. The bridge introduces a third character, a sneaky snitch who claims to have insider knowledge about the crime. The singer insists on his lover’s innocence, but hints that he may have played some role in the incident himself.
The meaning of “Murder” is left intentionally ambiguous, but the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a dangerous relationship that is as exciting as it is potentially deadly. The song’s eerie guitar riffs and pulsing rhythms contribute to the overall sense of foreboding. The Virgins have crafted a song that captures the thrill of living on the edge – and the risks that come with it.

I am further considering the possibility that my actions have caused harm to you
Somebody did you dirty, maybe it was me
I am ultimately unsure of who may have caused you harm and am suggesting that I may have had a role in it
Somebody did you dirty, maybe it was me
I am coming to terms with the fact that someone may have caused you harm, and I acknowledge that I may have played a part in it
