The Wrong Man Was Convicted — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

Words & music by stephen duffy & steven page



Whos lonely now?

Which one of us is suffering?

Whos in his cups? which one of us recovering?

Who likes to look at pictures and cries, but way too late?

Who doesnt want to change a thing, accepting it was fate?



Chorus:

The wrong man was convicted

You know I did the deed

I thought that you would wait for me

Your wants I neednt heed

The wrong man lies beside you

And waits for you to wake

And all because I lacked conviction,

The judgments my mistake



Whos breathless now?

Who only hyperventilates?

Whod die for you! whos dying inside anyway?

Which one of us is sunshine and which ones growing dim?

While two men dream of you at night, do you just dream of him?



Chorus



Whos lonely now?

Whos reaching out to no one?

Whos lonely now?

It takes one to know one

I changed my mind; you said that I could change it back

I wanted space, and now change has fallen through the cracks

If Im again beside your body, dont tell me where its been

Its cruel, unusual punishment to kiss fingerprinted skin



Chorus



Its my mistake
