Lyrics
Crime Of The Century
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hypnotic in the morning never tasted so good
it brings back the tales from before
broken glass and writing on the walls
it's just a shame it had to go
one more night of ecstasy
we're tearing it down for all to see
and some way, somehow, this is all justified
let's get it started now, let's get it going
because it's getting late, and tomorrow's gonna hurt so good
and so they say that we've committed the crime of the century
we know it's our fault that your lives are so messed up
they're so messed up
just think of what it would be like without a drag
one more night of ecstasy
we're tearing it down for all to see
and some way, somehow, this is all justified
let's get it started now, let's get it going
because it's getting late, and tomorrow's gonna hurt so good
i'll give you something to laugh about
i'll give you something to laugh about
i'll give you something to laugh about
just give it some time
one more night of ecstasy
we're tearing it down for all to see
and some way, somehow, this is all justified
let's get it started now, let's get it going
because it's getting late, and tomorrow's gonna hurt so good
