Songtext von Crooks

Living only in my mind Living only for somebody else who seems to be Living vicariously, through me, relentlessly Up, up and against the wall One by one the curtain falls Nowhere do I see me Nowhere do I see me Oh please Don’t undress me with those evil eyes Though I know you don’t care All you crooks and beggars don’t you cry You’re no better than the rest When you say it keeps you up at night Though I know you don’t care All you crooks and beggars don’t you cry You’re no better than the rest Come and tell your stories then All the ones where you pretend To be, so hopelessly, in love with a world of infamy Oh please Now, now, when I see you round After all those ups and downs You’ll burn out heroically Finally all of those who care will see They will see Don’t undress me with those evil eyes Though I know you don’t care All you crooks and beggars don’t you cry You’re no better than the rest When you say it keeps you up at night Though I know you don’t care All you crooks and beggars don’t you cry You’re no better than the rest
