X-Offender (Live 27th May 1978. Boston, Paradise Ballroom)
You read me my rights
And then you said, "Let's go"
And nothing more
I thought of my nights
And how they were
They were filled with -
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know
So I asked
You just had to laugh
We sat in the night
With my hands cuffed
At my side
I looked at your life
And your style
Wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know
So I asked
You just had to laugh
Walking the line
You were a marksman
Told me that law
Like wine is ageless
Public - defender
You had to admit
You wanted the love
Of a sex offender
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know
So I asked
You just had to laugh
My vision in blue
I call you from
Inside my cell
And in the trial
You are there
With your badge
And rubber boots
I think all the time
How I'm going to
Perpetrate love with you
And when I get out
There's no doubt
I'll be sex-offensive to you
Ooh-whoo...
Ooh-whoo...
And then you said, "Let's go"
And nothing more
I thought of my nights
And how they were
They were filled with -
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know
So I asked
You just had to laugh
We sat in the night
With my hands cuffed
At my side
I looked at your life
And your style
Wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know
So I asked
You just had to laugh
Walking the line
You were a marksman
Told me that law
Like wine is ageless
Public - defender
You had to admit
You wanted the love
Of a sex offender
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know
So I asked
You just had to laugh
My vision in blue
I call you from
Inside my cell
And in the trial
You are there
With your badge
And rubber boots
I think all the time
How I'm going to
Perpetrate love with you
And when I get out
There's no doubt
I'll be sex-offensive to you
Ooh-whoo...
Ooh-whoo...
