about

A single from the forthcoming album 'Wires'.

lyrics

I was the judge, I was the jury
I was the crying up in the gallery
I was the shaking hands on the stand.

The crime of the century, maybe the next,
Out in the street, they were placing bets,
On how the time would fit the crime

They're gonna throw the book at you

Time slows down, nobody breathes,
You can hear heartbeats like bombs
There is no other sound but the crows

Up stands a red dress, tears on her cheeks
I must have my right of address
And the judge in a wig nods a head

They're gonna throw the book at you

Gather round the hanging tree
Whisper mercy on me
Gather round and watch him bleed
Whisper mercy on me.

Child they own you now
