Story Behind The Song

I had systemic poison ivy and was going out of my mind, and taking lots of benadryl. meanwhile, someone called em to do a phone interview that I had previously scheduled (before getting poison ivy). I laid there in my pajamas and blabbed for hours, the next day only remembering getting up to hang up the phone and saying "well, I have to kill you now."

Song Description

After taking too much antihistamine, the singer has a long conversation on the phone with someone and barely remembers it, but is pretty sure she has revealed too much personal information. As they say in the military "If I tell you I have to kill you."

Lyrics

It was late in the evening
I was tired I was ill
I was feeling really groggy
From taking too much Benadryl
So you called and we talked for 5 hours
And I don't remember a thing
Except before I hung up the phone
I do remember saying

I have to kill you now
You know more than I can allow
Unless you can forget somehow
I have to kill you now

I could speculate
on what I might have said
Was it how I flunked the seventh grade
How my high school friends called me Smurfette
Did I rattle on about my cat
And talk about my allergies
And I wonder did I blab
about my stay in drug rehab

I have to kill you now
You know more than I can allow
I could extradite you to Moscow
Or I could kill you now

The way most people see me
I?m hardly ever serious
Fun loving easy going
And a tad mysterious
You with your tape recorder
You with your Smith-Corona
One published article
Could peel away my whole persona

I have to kill you now
You know more than I can allow
I will let you choose how
But I have to kill you now

So you wonder did I kill him
And is all the other stuff true
I cannot reveal those things
?cause then I?d have to kill you too

I have to kill you now
You know more than I can allow
You've lived a good life anyhow
I have to kill you now
