Lyrics for Of Crime and Passion

Why did you let me undone When you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole Where your heart should be? Liar couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried Just take a look before you run off and hide Until your victim arise Clouds on you shoulder Aren't they grazed by the afterglow? How quiet they gather When the storm is about to blow? Now don't look away Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passion's rage Summer of madness, the undertow Dragged me up an alley for the blossoming fire On a stranger's smile Bride of wire, how disguise so easily cracked Saw your heart turn spade This orchid's turned to black Graze on your shoulder Like the clouds in the afterglow How quiet they gather When the storm is about to blow? Now don't look away Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passion's rage Way down by the shoulder In the haze of the afterglow Stranded together And the storm is about to blow Now don't look away Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passion Don't look away Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passion Don't look away Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passion Don't look away
