| [00:05.810] | Now, the courtroom is quiet but who will confess? |
| [00:11.550] | Is it true you betrayed us? |
| [00:14.380] | The answer is yes |
| [00:17.370] | Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine |
| [00:22.690] | I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline |
| [00:27.580] | And all the ladies go moist and the judge has no choice |
| [00:33.860] | A singer must die for the lie in his voice |
| [00:39.840] | And I thank you, |
| [00:41.590] | I thank you for doing your duty |
| [00:46.220] | You keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty |
| [00:51.580] | Your vision is right, my vision is wrong |
| [00:57.120] | I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song |
| [01:02.500] | Oh the night, it is thick, my defenses are hid |
| [01:21.170] | In the clothes of a woman |
| [01:23.500] | I would like to forgive |
| [01:27.010] | In the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs |
| [01:32.750] | Where I have to go begging in beauty's disguise |
| [01:38.320] | Oh goodnight, goodnight, my night after night |
| [01:44.250] | My night after night, after night, after night |
| [01:54.650] | I am so afraid that |
| [01:58.310] | I listen to you |
| [02:01.420] | Your sun glassed protectors they do that to you |
| [02:07.270] | It's their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace |
| [02:12.680] | Their knee in your balls and their fist in your face |
| [02:18.020] | Yes and long live the state by whoever it's made |
| [02:23.620] | Sir, I didn't see nothing, |
| [02:26.040] | I was just getting home late |
