Let me tell you a story. You've seen me in the papers, don't believe what
they say. In the heat of a passionate moment I loose my composure. A woman
and a man barely alive were hard to kill. The dogs go mad, Got to run, run,
run. Flying east on a plane in the middle of the night I don't want to sleep
Where did my life go wrong? Now we're gonna be in prime time high up in the
hills of California I'm standing here for all the world to see. I don't
know why the judge says "string him up for what he did". I am an innocent
man.
