Living Far Away

I think you've heard of me before
Cause I was the guy who was knocking down your door
Because yesterday you stole my wallet
Stole my keys and picked my pocket
I think I'm calling the police on you

Hands in the air my friend, hold still or I'll take fire
I know the times are dire but if I were you I'd listen now
Pack up your bag my friend, were leaving soon
And I can tell the moon is having trouble seeing you

Evacuate the town, the crime is on the loose
I need you on a plane right now
You know there is no truce
Wait never mind, I think we got the guy we were looking for
Under the door, if I were on the beach I'd stay right on the shore

I left that mess
I guess I'll live my life away from crime and things like that
But over in that other place they really need our help
The old have failed, and the danger crossed the rail
So I'll be living far away
Living far away

He is no missionary, doctor, lifeguard, adversary
But he lives his life over in jail
Its really not a good hotel
I'll give it one star and I'll sell it
Forty-five a brick the building fell

And all the crimes he has committed
He will smite and has been smitten
If you ask him, he cannot explain
Mentally, he's gone insane
He sees the window and the rain
And tells himself he'll never ride the train

His ex-wife now lives alone
She talks to him on the phone
And every Sunday morn she rings the bell
Anyways, it's just as well
She's doing right and we can tell
But her partner's living far off in his cell

I left that mess
I guess I'll live my life away from crime and things like that
But over in that other place they really need our help
The old have failed, and the danger crossed the rail
So I'll be living far away
Living far away

Forty-nine days away
From the time we tell the time
And the world's upset we're a couple keys off the line
But the time won't change until we rhyme and flip the dime
This time it never could have never been the same
You're boat just drifted out astray
So I'll be living far away
