(V)

Lost in the city, alone with your ghosts

take all the chances is what you want most

Stirring the ashes awakens desire

turning your spirit to fire

oh no --- I'll take no more of the blame

oh no --- I'll not be a moth in the flame

(CH)

You kept me locked in the same old jail

it was a crime of passion

Your love was harder than a bed of nails

it was a crime of passion

(V)

I saw I was falling right into your game

moment by moment it got more insane

Change can be broken, slaves can be freed

waving goodbye as they leave

More of your madness with each passing day

what makes you think you're the one to be saved?

Your cynical wisdom, you're my hell on earth

I'm leaving you in the dirt

oh no --- I'll take no more of the blame

oh no --- I'll not be a moth in the flame

(CH)

You kept me locked in the same old jail

it was a crime of passion

Your love was harder than a bed of nails

it was a crime of passion

You had me burnin' and I had to escape

that's my solution

You call it love but I call it hate

it was a crime of passion
