When the first dog cocked a leg, I had him shot When the first dog cracked, I broke his back I'm running through the river saying
Life's a lie Life's a lie
People make such a mess And as for me, I found the Crime inside of me [saying]
Life's a lie Life's a lie
And with my blessing burn this down And with my blessing burn them down As for me it's more than this, it's restlessly. I found the crime inside of me saying
Life's a lie Life's a lie
Singing come to me, come to me, oh come to me With my eyes wide open Singing come to me, come to me, oh come to me With my father's eyes I am the Crime
There's nobody else, nobody else I am the Crime With this song in the air My intentions were clear
She came down on a bad train She came down on the back of me She came down on the back of me
So my life's wrapped up in time, Oh my life is restlessly Oh my life is not the same Life's a lie, life's a lie Singing come to me, oh come to me...
I am the crime There's nobody else, nobody else... I am the crime
