The Living End - One Step Behind Lyrics

Come in sit by the light
Tell us everything that happened tonight
We know you were there
There at the scene of the crime

No, no you've got it all wrong
So don't blame me
For something I haven't done
It was all just a big mistake

And now you can't think straight
'Cause they're onto you now
And they've figured you out
'Cause they're onto you now

They're always just one step behind
And you're so scared of what they'll find
And now you're running for your life
You're buying everything they sell
Those pushed will always say they fell
You got a postcard sent from hell

With my strong alibi
You can't frame me, don't even try
You don't know me
You're not even trying to see

And now you can't think straight
'Cause they're onto you now
And they've figured you out
'Cause they're onto you now

They're always just one step behind
And you're so scared of what they'll find
And now you're running for your life
You're buying everything they sell
Those pushed will always say they fell
You got a postcard sent from hell

And you don't belong
And the papers are never wrong!
Just like the public don't forget, don't forget, don't forget

And now you can't think straight

And now you can't think straight
You're not even trying to see

They're always just one step behind
And you're so scared of what they'll find
And now you're running for your life
You're buying everything they sell
Those pushed will always say they fell
You got a postcard sent from hell
