about

Thought crimes / Procès d'intention.

lyrics

Unexpected splash of honey
Unexpected dash of spice
Dropped into my stark existence
Sprinkled on my cloistered life

Such a rare and freak occurrence
Shared my wonder and delight
Sung the splashing honeys' praises
Raved about the dashing spice

Guess I thought that you'd be happy
For your lonely troglodyte
I don't know what I was smoking
Must have been high as a kite

Now you're crazy mad and angry
And all we seem to do is fight
There's nothing I can do or say
That doesn't fuel your spite

Vying for survival
Reprisal and denial
Inflationary spiral
You've gone rival

What I find a bit disturbing
Is your keenness to indict
And to cast every last detail
In the worst possible light

You twist my words into your wound
You dismiss my frame of mind
You warp the past to make your case
In the end all men are swine

Noble members of the jury
The facts are pretty cut and dried
You must find the suspect guilty
Of the sins of all mankind

Can't some victories be hollow?
Why so eager to be right?
Or were you waiting for this moment
To call it a night?

Vying for survival
All sales are final
Inflationary spiral
You've gone rival
