Criminals

There were days when you thought you would just go under

And the weekends that you never understood

When you flew from the bar only seventeen

You didn't bleed and no one ever thought you would

And there where straights and lines and every sort of options

To stay away from broken mirrors and your friends

But the summer was strung with some mighty thread

And no law would never wait around no bend



Come see the hiding in rain, come see the stillness in all them ones

Come see the loveable strain of someone diving for all you know

Come see the strain of a reeling tribe

Come meet the criminals, of this Napoleon ride



And there were the nights when you thought we would just surrender

To the stories of the miracles of gulls

When you flew from your sheets where your hours gone

You never sleep and no one ever thought you would



Come see the hiding in rain, come see the stillness in all them ones

Come see the loveable strain of someone diving for all you know

Come see the strain of a reeling tribe

Come meet the criminals, of this Napoleon ride



There are illusions and then just not even wanting

To walk around a shiny peak of snow

What a picture that is to be saved for us

How it's standing like it's just for us to know

There was a time in my life when I was carried by all of you

Now I run like a man still don't know what I dive into

Come see the strain of a reeling tribe

Come meet the criminals, of this Napoleon ride.
