Vigilante Lover
Oh you think you got a gypsy smile But it won't get you out of trouble this time All you ever had is the memory And the rose that you keep for company Anyone could have cracked the code Anybody could have cracked that code So touch up your makeup And save up all your pride You once made everyone your lover And I bet you felt just like a bride While they were talking in some foreign tongue You were parading around like a beggar in an iron lung Cause something must be breaking your heart Yes something is breaking your heart That I loved like a vigilante lover That I loved like a vigilante fool The air was heavy over the village square It's not everyday they auction off despair There were voices floating in that country air And secret policemen watching everywhere Anyone could have cracked the code SongtexteAnyone could have cracked that code I drive a stolen car I got a monkey jar That makes the blood run cold And I see through windows And I hear through walls But nothing you can do can touch me at all But I wouldn't feel so forlorn There must be some saving grace I hear the Rosy Christians have just hit town And they're all heading for your place Cause something is breaking your heart Something is breaking your heart I hope something is I loved you like a vigilante lover I loved you like a vigilante fool Aus Songtexte Mania
