Blue Rodeo - Nice Try lyrics

Oh well the best defence is the bright lights Underneath which you commit your dark crime Look I was there I watched it all go down I still can't believe my eyes Nice try it's so wild It's like a car burning on the side of the road Someone got torched for not doing what they're told It's like a paid vacation when they change your name It's like yesterday's news is the same again and again and again So when you dish the dirt you may as well dish the worst 'Cause no one expects you to tell the truth And when they turn around you think Something must be wrong 'Cause no one could make up a story so far gone It's so wild Nice try Fact or fiction all parties deny Any involvement at the scene of the crime They look you cold straight in the eye And say man you got the wrong guy But nice try it's so wild Nice try it's so wild
