Crime Story Lyrics - Walkabouts

thunder laughs and thunderclaps 

the afternoons round here, 

well they're just like that 

I know ya' don't spook easy 

I know ya' won't up and quit 

let's keep it like that 

now don't forget 

when you go and make the drop 

if he don't look ya' in the eye 

well ya' better just walk 

means madness is takin' over 

madness is in charge 

it's come out of the woodwork 

madness-at-large 

keep things close 

keep the dogs at bay 

just walk on by 

story of a crime 

walk on by 

story of a crime 

whole thing sounds harder than it is 

timing's everything 

but then you knew that, before I did 

If this turns into a circus 

too much talkin', too much noise 

walk on by 

keep holdin' on to the bag 

There's a town on the Spanish border 

where you can chill 

he's supposed to tell ya' about it 

but if he don't, head for the hills 

find some empty olive grove 

where you can stash the car 

somewhere exotic 

somewhere obscure 

sometimes you do what is wrong 

so ya' won't do what's worse 

if ya' can't be righteous 

at least be careful 

just cause we feed the flame 

don't mean we have to got burned
