Lyrics
Young Offender
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.
Pictures of an image of a person who could not be blamed.
You are a colour and you are a number.
We need a sanction to see one another.
If I keep my distance in the season of the slender how.
It's because of the need to live off one another.
Go home young offender and stay undercover.
We're busy running out of time.
(Whatever it takes, I will make it mine)
I'll take the future from your hands.
(All the things I've ever had, I can make the perfect crime)
We're strong, we do our thing,
let the world cry, watch the birds sing.
Give me the freedom, I need to recover.
Words cannot heal, when a line is your lover.
Wind howls in my chamber like an angel.
(like an angel)
You are a colour and you are a number.
Go home young offender and stay undercover.
