Now I know what you want But I don't know how to give it I think our life together has been cursed I don't know which one of us is worse Is it the one who lies or the one who hurts?
It's a crime, it's a crime I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong time
You say I should be there You don't tell me where you're living It serves as ammunition for my verse I practice spiritual research Among the ancient ruins covered in dirt
It's my work, it's my work I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong term
True love is your guiding light It's like a flaming torch You can see magic in the night As the flames start to distort
I can hear bells again I hope they never stop 'em ringing They remind me of the distant past Looking through a window's stained-glass When the pledge was made And the spell was cast
It's a crime, it's a crime I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time
I see a woman with death in her eyes But I don't have the time to pray For her salvation or for her soul She walks her chosen way But in the darkness, and in the light I have found some hope Of me getting out, from this underground I can't wait to get back home, back home
Such a tender age to sell her soul For dreams that don't come true She's like a woman whose whole life has dissolved She's the living proof That all that glitters is not gold And even serpents shine Ah, she got bitten then, she'll get bitten again While I'm sitting here watching the tide come in
You make me feel responsible For the state you've got yourself in Oh I know it's impossible for you To ever be the same person again
I got us into this, I've gotta get us out, uh huh It's you and me all the way From here to eternity It's you and me all the way
I had to choose which one to lose I couldn't do it for they each had their views It was so hard, tearing apart Now I know you gotta get it right at the start
I learned my lesson now I learned it the hard way If you wanna be in love You've gotta pay and pay and pay
After the pain that was suffered in vain The dark roads we travelled with nothing to gain And though the pleasures will always be treasured It's a shame it came to such drastic measures
Indecision, lack of conviction Slurred diction failing what you're trying to say If you are a slave to love You're gonna pay and pay and pay
Our flightpath's a gradual descent from the firmament I can tell by the tone of the letters you sent What was once sacred is now filled with hatred How come such love can be dissipated?
I've had enough of all this poison and decay If you wanna come face to face with love You've gotta pay and pay and pay
I used to have the notion I could swim the length of the ocean If I knew you were waiting for me
I used to have the notion I could swim the length of the ocean I'd plumb the depths of every sea for you
I'll escape from my chains and I'll reach out for you Baby, I'm in love with you You, oh baby, baby I'm in love with you I had to contact you, found out I was in love with you I had to contact...
That's it, that's the law, that's the whole of the law The whole of the law
