Space in Your Face

The year they bombed the L.A. Times

And paid the jury off with bribes

Did you need me to defend you?

The year I came unglued

The thought of him in bed with you

Dragged myself into the gutter

I was tempted to believe

I was tempted to believe

While I'm practicing my craft

I sober up in Turkish baths

Breaded and impeccable

We only met a month ago

I don't know much about you now

You needed someone to befriend you

Well there you are and there you go

Under layers of winter snow

Bombs are frozen in the ground

You know our time is running out

I was tempted to believe

I was tempted to believe

I was tempted to believe

I was tempted to believe

Put my whole life in your hands

Reputation, everything

Well you knew my trust was up to you

Like an actor plays a part

I'll make the world think light is dark

And maybe just convince myself

I was tempted to believe

I was tempted to believe

Now I stand here in a daze

All the famous people strays

Brushing petals from the stones

Get away from me you slimy pig

Well this isn't what you think

You know you're guilty as hell

So believe me when I tell you

You're a freak show
