Swing for the crime

Locked in a room full of words

I’m the one-eyed midget with the curse

The simpleton who sweetly smiles at his young lover now beguiled

The sycophantic morons lied at Romeo who is the bride, let's ride

Stoned as I walk down the hall

The adman waits to hear the curse and call

The angels scream in discontent as to the river they are led

The actors bow and pay the rent, we cover them in cold cement

Let's swing for the crime everyone in double time

And we hope that you had a good time

Yeah smile as you sign on the line

Because life on your knees can be fun

Surprised now you're not the only one

Led like a lamb into this gloom

Yeah Freud is in the back room with his goons

Now they've got new experiments, the metal groans, the limbs are rent

The anti-heros’ mock dissent, we market now by mass consent

We swing for the crime everyone in double time

Scream like you’ll burst if they cry

Is changed by the words that you learn

But Jack the Ripper is inside

And Moriarty has imbibed

They live, they marry, all the while

We laugh and have them circumcised

They swing for the crime everyone in double time

And we hope that you had a good time

Yeah smile as you sign on the line

Because life on your knees can be fun

Are you glad that you're not the only one?
