Walk a Crooked Mile
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.
If you were in the movies,
Who would you play?
If you were tried for murder
What could you say?
And if you were out to lunch
What would you eat?
We wanna know the answers
Who do you want to beat?
Dont show your fear,
Keep it out of sight,
Dont lose your place in here
And you might be all right
Dont say nothing shut your mouth
Out of time work it out
Youre living in a cruel world
And your face is out of style
Boogey man, magic word,
Walk a crooked mile.
If you were Armageddon
Who would you spare?
If you were judge an jury,
Why would you care?
And if you were out of breath
How would you breathe?
The world deserves the answers,
What do you have up your sleeve?
Cant show your hand
Find another way,
Cant play that ace in here,
Never see another day.
Plead no contest, pass the buck,
Running scared, you aint so tough
We hold rehearsal for your death
Were tired of your smile
Boogey man, see what you get
Walk a crooked mile.
Standing in the spotlight,
What would you need?
If you were a soldier,
How would you bleed?
And if you were in the rain,
What would you wear?
Were hungry for the answers,
Dont seem right, but we dont care.
Dont bring your friends,
Send them all away
Dont meet your end in here,
Dont throw your life away,
Dont you change dont drop your guard,
Double bluff throw down your cards,
Death has put his mark on you
Man and boy an child,
Boogey man, back to start
Walk a crooked mile
