lyrics

I may not be the best but I'm the best you'll get.
I don't care what Jesus said, if I die I'm staying dead.
As the first lovers sank down into the mud:
That's when the blueprints of utopia were drawn out in blood.

Hi-Dee-Hi-Ho
You promised a lot but no,
The road to bliss is best walked alone.
I stole your heart but I threw it away
Because Hey,
You said crime don't pay.

Well I may be your top shelf,
I may be your bottom drawer,
But you've been holding my hand
And now you're telling folk it's yours.
When you got on your knees and begged me to stay
I heard the footsteps of fidelity walking away.

Hi-Dee-Ho-Hi
It's alright for you but I
Am through with love and I'm through with love's lies.
I stole your heart then I threw it away
Because Hey,
You said crime don't pay.

So long, get a move on
Before all our wrongs turn all too right.
I could have killed for you darling
But I'd never risk my life
For love at that price.

You held the hem of my heart as you worked your way in,
I felt the blame in your tears like glass under my skin.
Grimy with the grease from your face and your fingers,
There was love between us once but you know it never lingered.

Hi-Dee-Hi
Who would want me to want to too?
There's an answer but it sure ain't "I do."
I stole your heart then I threw it away
Because Hey,
You said crime don't pay.

So long, get a move on
Before all our wrongs turn all too right.
I could have killed for you darling
But I'd never risk my life
For love at that price.
