Criminals

Well there were days

When you thought you'd just go under

And the weekends that you never understood

When you flew from the bar only 17

You didn't bleed

And no one ever thought you would

And there were straights and lines

And every sort of option

To stay away from broken mirrors and your friends

But the summer was strung

With some mightily thread

You know I would never wait around, oh men

Come see the hiding rain

Come see the stillness in all their want

Come see the lovable strain of someone diving for all you know

Come see the strain of a real end-try

Come meet the criminals of this Napoleon ride

And there were the nights

We thought we would just surrender

To the stories of the miracles of gulls

Oh, and you flew from your sheets

Where your hours gone

Never sleep and no one ever thought you would

Come see the hiding rain

Come see the stillness in all their want

Come see the lovable strain of someone diving for all you know

Come see the strain of a real end-try

Come meet the criminals of this Napoleon ride

And there are illusions

And they're just not even want-some

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

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 real end-try

Come meet the criminal of this Napoleon ride
