Crime Wave

Nothing’s worked out quite right since she died
That’s when I got split right down the middle
I got split right down the middle
I was losing limbs, sleepwalking across state lines
Oh, my maps were split right down the middle
They were split right down the middle

There was a crime wave coming
I got carried away
I was a crime wave once
And I’m still ashamed

But I fell in love on the gallows
The floor gave out
My legs gave out
And I caved

Oh, I’ve been waiting on you, yeah, yeah

And they put it all on God, but I don’t have a god to blame
No, mine got split right down the middle
He got split right down the middle
But there are cures that can be bought, Miller Lite and drugs with countless names
Yeah, those fuckers got split right down the middle
Well, almost split right down the middle

There were sirens coming
I was winning the race
I was a jail break once
Now I’m stuck in place

So I fell in love on the gallows
The floor stayed put
My legs stayed put
But I caved

Babe, I’d been waiting for you, yeah, yeah
Alright, oh

But I think you’re inching away
I feel you inching away
Baby, I think you’re inching away
And I’m looking for something to blame
And you can blame it on the gallows
I’ll just blame it on your black Wayfarers, babe
Yeah, you can blame it on the gallows
I think I’ll blame it on you

’Cause I’m still waiting on you, yeah, yeah
So come on, come on

I was split right down the middle
You were split right down the middle
Tell me we won’t split right down the middle
Will this just split right down the middle?
