Defendants Songtext
Heaven knows your name but Hell has your number
Forego your fame ′cause you're going under
Covered for your penance, now hear my sentence
′Cause you remind me of a friend and a defendant
I'm not ashamed to tell you that I lost her
To a head full of games and fears that I foster
But we were thick as thieves, troubles to treetops
Light as leaves, covered by the raindrops
Numbers flying off the calendar page
The world is turning, I can feel it turning away
From me
I see your signs, I decode your cipher
I understand 'cause I′ve heard you′re a lifer
So don't you fear reproach or indictment
′Cause now I'm here, and I remain tight-lipped
We′ve been running, we've been running for days
And I′m just hoping that you won't walk away
I don't need to know where the knife is
′Cause we both learned long ago what the price is
For vanity and pith, I plead the fifth
Just satisfied to have someone to run with
The train is waiting, you′ve still got time
Here comes the clerk, you just have to buy
The ticket
Forego your fame ′cause you're going under
Covered for your penance, now hear my sentence
′Cause you remind me of a friend and a defendant
I'm not ashamed to tell you that I lost her
To a head full of games and fears that I foster
But we were thick as thieves, troubles to treetops
Light as leaves, covered by the raindrops
Numbers flying off the calendar page
The world is turning, I can feel it turning away
From me
I see your signs, I decode your cipher
I understand 'cause I′ve heard you′re a lifer
So don't you fear reproach or indictment
′Cause now I'm here, and I remain tight-lipped
We′ve been running, we've been running for days
And I′m just hoping that you won't walk away
I don't need to know where the knife is
′Cause we both learned long ago what the price is
For vanity and pith, I plead the fifth
Just satisfied to have someone to run with
The train is waiting, you′ve still got time
Here comes the clerk, you just have to buy
The ticket
