Lyrics[]
Why did you let me run, When you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole - Where your heart should be? Liar - couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried - Just take a look, before you run off and hide, at your victim, arise... Clouds on your shoulder Aren't they grazed by the afterglow How quiet they gather - When the storm is about to blow - Oh, oh, now don't look away, Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passions rage. Summer of madness the undertow, dragged me up an alley - For the blossoming fire on a stranger's smile. Bride of wires - how disguise so easily cracked - Saw your heart turn spade, this orchids turned to black.. Graze on your shoulder Like the clouds in the afterglow How quiet they gather - When the storm is about to blow - Oh, oh, now don't look away Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passions rage - Way down by the shoulder In the haze of the afterglow Stranded together - And the storm's about to blow - Oh, oh, now don't look away Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passions.. Oh, oh now don't look away Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passion.. Don't look away Caught in the crossfire And if ain't no wind of changeI'm talking of crime and passion...
