A Singer Must Die

Now the courtroom is quiet
But who will confess

Is it true you betrayed us?
The answer is yes

Read me the list
Of the crimes that are mine
I will ask for the mercy
That you love to decline
And the ladies go moist
And the judge has no choice
A singer must die
For the lie in her voice

And I thank you
I thank you
For doing your duty
You keepers of truth
You guardians of beauty
Your vision is right
And my vision is wrong
I'm sorry for smudging
The air with my song

La la la
La la la la
La la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la

Oh the night it is thick
My defenses are hid

In the clothes of a woman
I would like to forgive
In the rings of her silk
In the hinge of her thighs
Where I have to go begging
In beauty's disguise
Oh goodnight
Goodnight
My night after night after night
After night after night after night after night after

I am so afraid
That I listened to you

Your sunglass protectors
They do that to you

It's their ways to detain
In their ways to disgrace
Their knee in your groin
And their fist in your face
Yes and long live the state
By whoever it's made
Sir I didn't see nothin'
I was just getting home late

La la la
La la la la
La la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
