Lyrics of “Criminals” by Paul De Leon
Here come the cops, we gotta run away
We'll try and lose them on the motorway
It's burning heavy in the Vienna sun
And you're the barrel of a smoking gun

We don't even know where we're going
A low wind is blowing, you're soaking wet
And sweat is dripping down your neck
We make a final check

We gotta escape this town cause they just want what we have found
Wanted like we're criminals
Like we're criminals
They're taking our photographs, they treat us like we're artifacts
Wanted like we're criminals
Like we're criminals

One hundred twenty in a forty zone
It feels like more in this convertible
I think I know what you're dying to say
“I can't believe that we're running away”

Maybe we should slow down
You know how we're running away from home and it's cold now
But baby I don't care at all
Yah, you're my destination I'm trying to be patient

We gotta escape this town cause they just want what we have found
Wanted like we're criminals
Like we're criminals
They're taking our photographs, they treat us like we're artifacts
Wanted like we're criminals
Like we're criminals

How did we fall so hard?
[Repeating]
