Crime Story — текст песни (The Walkabouts)

thunder laughs and thunderclaps
the afternoons round here,
well they`re just like that

I know ya` don`t spook easy
I know ya` won`t up and quit
let`s keep it like that
now don`t forget

when you go and make the drop
if he don`t look ya` in the eye
well ya` better just walk

means madness is takin` over
madness is in charge
it`s come out of the woodwork
madness-at-large

keep things close
keep the dogs at bay
just walk on by
story of a crime
walk on by
story of a crime

whole thing sounds harder than it is
timing`s everything
but then you knew that, before I did

If this turns into a circus
too much talkin`, too much noise
walk on by
keep holdin` on to the bag

There`s a town on the Spanish border
where you can chill
he`s supposed to tell ya` about it
but if he don`t, head for the hills

find some empty olive grove
where you can stash the car
somewhere exotic
somewhere obscure

sometimes you do what is wrong
so ya` won`t do what`s worse
if ya` can`t be righteous
at least be careful
just cause we feed the flame
don`t mean we have to got burned
