How can you love me when you don't know who I am?
These pages got a lot more filling
From a bloodstained dirty hand
And all I know is:
I was blind and the view looked mighty grand
I've been a white devil
A holy roller
A Bokononist and a loner
With a temper and a cold shoulder
I just keep wasting my time
Again and again
I've been accused of a crime
I didn't commit
My baby loves me, gives me everything I need
She'll make a crown out of barbed wire
And I'm happy just to bleed
She knows that I've been trying hard to take my leave
She likes guns, and she makes love
Like a lioness
Body like poison in a sundress
Baby, I'm wasting my time
Again and again
I've been accused of a crime
But it's all in the spin
No-one ever told me they would hold me like a voodoo doll
With the pins and needles
And stabbing away
Everybody told me I would be just fine
But it's my time to drink that bitter wine
Nobody loves you unless you get in line
Well, I won't keep wasting my time
Again and again
I get so used to these crimes
But it wears kind of thin
I won't keep wasting my time
Again and again
I never pay for the crime
I just live with the sin
I won't keep wasting my time
Again and again
I just keep living like I do
Like I do, like I do
I keep it under my skin
