From the recording Mysterious Skin
Lyrics
A LIFE OF CRIME Living with a prostitute I’ve got a hit man on my case There’s nothing I can do That doesn’t finish without being ashamed Mother where are you now? Father you’d be so proud If you could see me now I’ve got 17 kids from 17 lovers I don’t give a shit about any of them Colour me blind and colour me sin I can’t help the world I was born in Mother where are you now? Father you’d be so proud The way that I’ve turned out A life of crime I fuck I fight I stay out every single night I do what I like I live a life of crime I see your ship coming in I see it all where do I begin The doctors the police the serpents and the thieves It’s all you need to know Mother where are you now Father you’d be so proud If you could see me now A life of crime I fuck I fight I stay out every single night I do what I like I’ve never sold my time I live a life of crime Am I naturally evil? Or is it what the world has done to me?
