Life of Crime Lyrics
You and me we had it all wrong
There was ice beneath our feet
But I refuse to understand it
And I refuse to believe
I know that I will be alone tonight
Even though you are by my side
You said this life is not what you planned it
But if this is a life at all
It is a life of crime
Now it's true I hardly know you
And you will always look for me
But there is nothing here to hold onto
Except the possibilities
How can I believe
You don't know
The words I hear you speak
You can't be sure
You say a soul is in me
Well if it's a soul you want
Then you can take the one I've got
Cause it's a life of crime
This life was made for something
But it wasn't you and I
We all were born from nothing
And we will never die
There was ice beneath our feet
But I refuse to understand it
And I refuse to believe
Even though you are by my side
You said this life is not what you planned it
But if this is a life at all
It is a life of crime
And you will always look for me
But there is nothing here to hold onto
Except the possibilities
You don't know
The words I hear you speak
You can't be sure
You say a soul is in me
Well if it's a soul you want
Then you can take the one I've got
Cause it's a life of crime
But it wasn't you and I
We all were born from nothing
And we will never die

Couple corrections here. It should be "and I refuse not to believe," and for whatever reasons the entire fourth stanza ("When I was young") has been excluded. These are the correct lyrics, to my knowledge.
