Thought I had a witness
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Thought I had a witness
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Thought I had a witness to this crime
Thought I had a witness
Thought we were on the same side of becoming
Then the judges called in a witness
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
So then when did you then
Begin your craving for white powder
Exotic matter that cells divide
Arresting time
So in your furnace then
You drank my tenderness
Feldspar and Mica then
You thought that you would own
My temple of gold
Got to rise in the night
Pick myself off the floor
I know now that it's over
I had a life before
You left me burning in
Your petrol emotion, boy
Your petrol emotion wanting more
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Thought I had a witness
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Thought we had a friendship
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Thought I heard you whispering "murder"
Thought this witches brew was more than bullet-proof
But words are like guns when you shoot the moon
'Cause everybody whispers, yeah
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
So then when did you then
Begin your craving for white powder
Exotic matter that cells divide
Arresting time
So in your furnace then
You drank my tenderness
Feldspar and Mica then
You thought that you would own
My temple of gold
Got to rise In the night
Pick myself off the floor, girls
I know now that it's over
I had a life before
You left me burning in, boy
Your petrol emotion
Your petrol emotion wanting more
Is there anyone?
Is it any wonder?
Is there anyone?
Is it any wonder, baby?
Is there anyone?
Is it any wonder?
I'm out the door
I'm out the door now
Is there any way?
Is there any way forward?
Is there any way?
Is there any way forward?
Is there anyone?
Is it any wonder?
Thought I had a witness
Thought you were you
Thought I was a witness
You could turn to not in
Thought I had a witness
Thought I did
Thought had a witness
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Thought I had a witness
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Hit it, boys!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, come
