Crooks Songtext
von The Slims

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
And nowhere do I see me
Nowhere do I see me Oh please
Don′t undress me with those evil eyes
You only want to impress
All you crooks and beggars don't you cry
You′re no better than the rest
And when you say it keeps you up at night
Though I know you don't care
For all the 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
You only want to impress
All you crooks and beggars don′t you cry
You're no better than the rest
And when you say it keeps you up at night
Though I know you don′t care
For all the crooks and beggars don't you cry
You′re no better than the rest
