I came and saw you left the light on
There was no one home at all
Couldn't wait to get your clothes on
Shouldn't come around to call on you
The taste was sweet and you delivered
I didn't know I would feel so high
Well, I guess we didn't have to kill her
But don't feel so bad though
You looked her in the eye
And I watched her cry
And my mouth went dry
Everyone is going to have to die sometime
My mouth is clean, my hands are dirty
Heaven isn't on my side
Well, if it was, then she'd have hurt me
Didn't think this through
But, I didn't have the time
To perfect my crime
I drank my wine
Everything is going to be just fine
I don't know, I don't love, (you're alone, you're alone) I don't know
Anyone like me
I'm not heaven sent
I'm not heaven sent
But I'm broken and bent
My mouth went dry
As I watched her cry
Everyone has to, gets to die
But not on my time not on this girl's time
Fucked if it's my time (fucked if it's my time)
Not on my time(this is all fucked up)
There was no one home at all
Couldn't wait to get your clothes on
Shouldn't come around to call on you
The taste was sweet and you delivered
I didn't know I would feel so high
Well, I guess we didn't have to kill her
But don't feel so bad though
You looked her in the eye
And I watched her cry
And my mouth went dry
Everyone is going to have to die sometime
My mouth is clean, my hands are dirty
Heaven isn't on my side
Well, if it was, then she'd have hurt me
Didn't think this through
But, I didn't have the time
To perfect my crime
I drank my wine
Everything is going to be just fine
I don't know, I don't love, (you're alone, you're alone) I don't know
Anyone like me
I'm not heaven sent
I'm not heaven sent
But I'm broken and bent
My mouth went dry
As I watched her cry
Everyone has to, gets to die
But not on my time not on this girl's time
Fucked if it's my time (fucked if it's my time)
Not on my time(this is all fucked up)

Paul and Karla lured young women back to their house where they both engaged in drugging, raping, and then murdering their victims. During the investigation and then at the trial, Karla and Paul gave conflicting accounts. Paul claimed that Karla was a willing participant and encouraged him to kill the young women. Karla claimed that Paul had abused her for years and brainwashed her into doing anything he said. Paul was eventually convicted and sentenced to life without parole...but Karla was convicted of lesser charges and received a much lighter sentence.
The most disturbing aspect of the trial was that if Paul's account of events was accurate (and it's interesting that he didn't try to distance himself from the events like Karla did) then Karla was probably the more dangerous of the two.
The lyrics are brilliant in that they vacillate back and forth between someone who is actively involved in a killing, but is also wrapped up in distancing herself from that reality...before finally giving up and giving into her base nature. The lyrics seem to mirror both Karla Homolka's claim that she was not responsible for the murders and the prevailing sentiment that she was as much a monster as Paul.
I came and saw you left the light on
There was no one home at all
(His wife or family is out of the house.)
Couldn't wait to get your clothes on
Shouldn't come around to call on you
(He's quick to kick her out of the house before his wife gets home, and she can't ask him for anything.)
The taste was sweet and you delivered
I didn't know I would feel so high
(Sort of obvious...)
Well, I guess we didn't have to kill her
But don't feel so bad though
(I think killing her is symbolic for destroying the wife's life, and the lack of guilt she has for it.)
You looked her in the eye
And I watched her cry
And my mouth went dry
(I think that this is referring to a confrontation between the wife and husband about the affair that she witnessed.)
Everyone is going to have to die - sometime
(Everyone is going to lose their innocence, and its the wife's time.)
I'm not heaven sent
I'm not heaven sent
But I'm broken and bent
(Makes me think she wants a normal, loving, pure relationship but she's got herself caught up in this destructive affair and she feels damaged.)
That's just what I thought of when I first listened to the lyrics.
In general it seems like the narrator is finally feeling the guilt and the immensity of what she's done. Possibly from seeing the wife cry.
"The taste was sweet and you delivered
I didn't know I would feel so high
Well, I guess we didn't have to kill her
But don't feel so bad though"
She's lost her innocence or inhibitions because of sex/passion with this man.
