Criminals

Performed by Johnny Stranger

Written by Peter Anthony

The space between the empty dreams

The criminals in my mind

They tap into the autopilot

Sending me out further and blind

I try to steer away but I keep drifting too close to the sun

The orbit pulls, the burning fuel

Is searing straight through my mind

I want to get it right

But I just can't tonight.

In my dreams I can fly.

But tonight I just drive

Into the sun.

It seems so long ago that I knew

Any hope that I could define.

But Somewhere in the aftershocks

I gave up on whatever was mine.

A dream to walk, to self destruct.

Iā€™m drifting too close to the sun.

A rose.  A gun.

A life so numb

Those criminals love to have fun .

I want to get it right

But I just can't tonight.

In my dreams I can fly.

But tonight I just drive

Into the sun.

Who are you to deny the truth?

The garden still consumes. 

A rose for every wound.

I want to get it right

But I just can't tonight.

In my dreams I can fly.

But tonight I just drive

I want to get it right

But I just can't tonight.

In my dreams I can fly.

But tonight I just drive

Into the sun.

Into the sun.

Into the sun.
