Nice Try Lyrics - Diamond Mine - Blue Rodeo

Well the best defense is the bright lights 

Underneath which you commit that dark crime 

Look I was there 

I watched it all go down 

And I still can't believe my eyes 

Nice try it's so wild 

Nice try it's so wild 

It's like a car burning on the side of the road 

Well someone got torched for not doing what they're told 

It's like a paid vacation when they change your name 

It's like yesterday's news is the same again 

And again, and again..... 

It's so wild 

Again and again 

It's so wild 

So when you dish the dirt you might as well dish the worst 

'Cause no one expects you to tell the truth 

And when they turn around they think that 

Something must be wrong 

'Cause no one could make up a story so far gone 

It's so wild 

So far gone 

It's so wild 

Fact or fiction all parties deny 

Any involvement at the scene of the crime 

They look you cold straight in the eye 

And say man 

You got the wrong guy 

But nice try it's so wild 

Nice try it's so wild
