Criminals

Lyrics

[Verse] Well, there were days when you thought you would just go under And the weekends that you never understood When you flew from the bar only seventeen You didn't bleed and no one ever thought you would And there where straights and lines and every sort of option To stay away from broken mirrors and your friends But the summer was strung with some mighty thread And no law would never wait around no bend [Chorus] Come see the hiding in rain, come see the stillness in all them ones Come see the lovable strain of someone dying for all you know Come see the strain of a reeling tribe Come meet the criminals of this Napoleon ride [Verse] And there were nights when you thought we would just surrender To the stories of the miracles of gulls Oh, when you flew from your sheets where your hours gone You never sleep and no one ever thought you would [Chorus] Come see the hiding in rain, come see the stillness in all them ones Come see the lovable strain of someone dying for all you know Come see the strain of a reeling tribe Come meet the criminals of this Napoleon ride [Verse] And there are illusions and then just not even wanting To walk around a shiny peak of snow And what a picture that is to be saved for us Now it's standing like it's just for us to know [Chorus] There was a time in my life when I was carried by all of you Now I run like a man still don't know what I dive into Come see the strain of a reeling tribe Come meet the criminals of this Napoleon ride
