[00:05.71]Now, the courtroom is quiet but who will confess?
[00:12.05]Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is yes
[00:17.07]Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine
[00:23.43]I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline
[00:28.02]And all the ladies go moist and the judge has no choice
[00:34.03]A singer must die for the lie in his voice
[00:40.41]And I thank you, I thank you for doing your duty
[00:46.38]You’re keepers, you keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty
[00:51.93]Your vision is right, my vision is wrong
[00:57.84]I’m sorry for smudging the air with my song
[01:04.18]
[01:15.33]Oh the night, it is thick, my defenses are hid
[01:21.78]In the clothes of a woman I would like to forgive
[01:27.76]In the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs
[01:33.09]Where I have to go begging in beauty’s disguise
[01:38.75]Oh goodnight, goodnight, my night after night
[01:45.09]My night after night, after night
[01:49.47]After night, after night
[01:55.78]I am so afraid that I listen to you
[02:02.09]Your sun glassed protectors they do that to you
[02:08.01]It’s their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace
[02:14.04]Their knee in your balls and their fist in your face
[02:19.17]Yes, and long live the state by whoever it’s made
[02:24.86]Sir, I didn’t see nothing, I was just getting home late
