Crimes Lyrics

And there's a fire on

Junk Island where

They send the garbage

Is anybody listening?



After work we'll watch

The Seaguls diving in

And out of

The lashing towers of flame



It twinkles like a pile

Of rotten jewels left

To bake in the sun

Is anybody listening?



And we're just like those

Condom wrappers

Used up

Torn up

Thrown away



And we're just like

Yesterdays headlines

Drifting

Floating

Towards the blaze



And if we rob the

Liqour store we could

Be in Tijuana

By the crack of dawn



And if we rob the

Mayors mansion

We'd pawn his modern art

And ma-a-ake a fortune



And if we rob the

Lonely widow

We'd steal her credit cards

And buy a cottage by the ocean



And we could swim out

To Junk Island

We'll burn up like those

Seaguls and Whiskey bottles



Ooooh, Ooooh, Oooh(many times)



We're scrapped Valentines

We're tangerine Rinds

We're Crimes, Crimes, Crimes, Crimes, Crimes (4x)



And the children

In the subway

Eating apple cores

Is anybody listening?



They're breathing paint

Out of plastic bags

Their mumbled mouths say

Is anybody listening?





Uh Ooooh Oh

Ohhh Oh
