Victim of Another Man’s Crime (3:30)

She’s the shadow of a condor’s wing a siren on the sea

She’ll trap you in her hidden charms then she’ll set you free

There’s danger in her desperateness darkness in her eyes

There’s mystery in her secrets the startle, the surprise

Through the muted fogginess that leads you to her past

Unspeakable violation there too difficult to grasp

But he left her full of emptiness and he left her full of fears

And a thousand kind of nightmares to haunt down the years

CHORUS:

Not me, not mine she’s the victim of another man’s crime

Not me, not mine she’s the victim of another man’s crime

Behind her conversation beyond her sullen smile

Are memories she’s hidden that lie there all the while

Until the moment does arrive a time you cannot touch

For the blanket of forgetfulness covers up her trust

CHORUS:

Now the past cannot escape her she’s aching to be free

But her pain is like a prison some dark eternity

There was never any jury never any trial just the brute determination

Of an animal gone wild.

CHORUS: ~
