One Step Behind Lyrics - The Living End

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
