A Serial Killer's Song

Posted by:

A friend of mine was writing the script for a serial killer short film, and asked me to write some lyrics. I think the tone was supposed to be somber, but I kind of had some fun with it.

To set the scene, a man has kidnapped a serial killer and plans to execute him. The serial killer has a last song where he explains why he does what he does and why killing him might not be such a cut-and-dry execution.

I'd be embarrassed to post it in any sort of critique group, because most of their songs rhyme love with dove and involve tears. I don't want to be run out of town like Dr. Frankenstein.

Darrel's Song
By Gregory Karber

Darrel’s Song

Everyone said I was crazy
My mind is a little bit hazy
But ask anyone and they’ll tell you, everybody’s a little deranged

And truly, I might have done more
Might not have sliced up that dirty old whore
But ask anyone and they’ll tell you, we’re all just a little insane

Oh yes, how the blood it ran freely
How my heart it beat really
--Really fast!

Oh, yes, how my soul it was floating
When their bodies were bloating
--It’s a gas!

And now I’m at my resort;
My time, I feel, is running short,
But still, I’ll never shill against my love:

I loved to kill!
I loved to slice! I loved to maim! I loved the thrill!
I loved to hurt!
I loved to cut! I loved to stab! The blood would spurt!
And though you’ve beaten me right now
I will win, and that’s my vow!
Cause I know that I’m no worser, than thou!

My my, how my heart knew no maybe
When I shot that young lady
--It’s a blast!

My my, how I felt like a wizard
When I tore out her gizzard
--Through her ass!

And now I’m at my resort;
My time, I think, is running short,
But still, I’ll never shill against my love:

I loved to kill!
I loved to slice! I loved to maim! Oh God, the thrill!
I loved to flirt!
The putrid corpses I would get up in their skirts!
And though you’ve turned it all around
I think your premise is unsound
‘Cause even as I sit here bound… I sing:

I loved the pain!
I loved the feeling that I felt—-it's not insane!
It’s quite the rush!
And don’t you know we only do what’s best for us!
And though you’ve bested me, it’s fine
I will win, you’ll see, in time
Why I’ll explain, right here, right now, in rhyme:

Though you’ve won at my own game
I will get you all the same, for I promise...
I promise...
You’ll love it, like me…

[Spoken:] This won’t be your last… you’ll see…
