Victim Or The Crime Lyrics
Patience runs out on the junkie,
The dark side hires another soul.
Did he steal his fate or earn it?
Was he force fed?
Did he learn it?
Whatever happened to his precious self control?
Like him I'm tired of trying to heal
This tomcat heart with which I'm blessed.
Is destruction loving's twin?
Must I choose to lose or win?
Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed.
These are the homes of the dilemma.
What truth is proof against all lies?
When sacred fails before profane,
The wisest man is deemed insane.
Even the purest of romantics compromise.
What fixation feeds this fever?
As the full moon pales and climbs.
Am I living truth or a deciever?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Or The Crime.
(JAM)
And So I wrestle with the angel,
To see who'll reap the seeds I sew.
Am I the driver or the driven?
Will I be damned to be forgiven?
Is there anybody here but me who needs to know?
What it is that feeds this fever
As the full moon pales and climbs....
Am I living truth or a deciever?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Or the crime?
The dark side hires another soul.
Did he steal his fate or earn it?
Was he force fed?
Did he learn it?
Whatever happened to his precious self control?
Like him I'm tired of trying to heal
This tomcat heart with which I'm blessed.
Is destruction loving's twin?
Must I choose to lose or win?
Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed.
These are the homes of the dilemma.
What truth is proof against all lies?
When sacred fails before profane,
The wisest man is deemed insane.
Even the purest of romantics compromise.
What fixation feeds this fever?
As the full moon pales and climbs.
Am I living truth or a deciever?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Or The Crime.
(JAM)
And So I wrestle with the angel,
To see who'll reap the seeds I sew.
Am I the driver or the driven?
Will I be damned to be forgiven?
Is there anybody here but me who needs to know?
What it is that feeds this fever
As the full moon pales and climbs....
Am I living truth or a deciever?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Or the crime?

One of my favorites, well-written.
Jerry rocked this one out hard in the eighties...
great song of jerry's self-destruction. "is there anybody here but me who needs to know?" some say no, i say yes. "what is it that feeds this fever?" i've no idea
thoughts from a waiting room. this song kind of applies to everyone.
