Crime

(album: You Am I - 2010)

I long for the quiet life
A pulse that defies the time
A firefly in my throat
The shudder of letting go
A step ahead of the truth
The criminal end of my fuse

One less in law
An easy score
And we're worth more gone
The last one standing
Or unless I'm a liar
And a frequent flier
And worth more gone
The last one standing
And I can't look back
It's beyond that
But I was laughing
Falling off the edge of the world

Blood that was on my hand
Has fallen away to land
Voices at a tie
Stroking away to hide
A step ahead of you
The criminal end of my fuse

One less late call
A drink at dawn
And worth more gone
Yeah, the last one standing
One less Jamie Russell
With a gun
And worth more gone
Yeah, the last one standing
And I can't go back
It's beyond that
But I was dancing
Falling off the edge of the world

You cruise, you lose, but you may end up being the last one standing
You cruise, you may lose, but you may end up being the last one standing
You cruise, you may lose, but you may end up being the last one standing
You cruise

Oh, for the quiet life
A pulse that defies the time
A step ahead of the truth
At the criminal end of my fuse
