I watched you fall. 
I think I pushed. 
Maybe I'm crazy 
Maybe diminished 
Maybe I'm innocent 
Maybe I'm finished 
Maybe I blacked out. 
How do I play this? 

I will give my best today 
I will give myself away 
I have never hurt anything 
Is the jury wavering? 
Do they know I sing? 

Maybe I'm crazy 
Maybe diminished 
How do I  
How do I play this? 
Jealous lover  self defense 
Protective brother  chemical 
Dependence. 
I'll consult the I-ching 
I'll consult the TV 
Ouija, oblique strategies. 
I'll consult the law books for 
Precedents. 
Can I charm the jury? 

I will give my best today 
I will give myself away 
I have never hurt anything 
Is the justice wavering? 
Does she know I sing 
That song? 
Sing along 
Sing along 
Sing along 
(I will never hurt anything] 

I watched you fall. 
Maybe they'll see me, 
Maybe they'll say, 
"I can see the truth in his statement. 
Smallpox blanket? no way." 
Can I charm the jury, my defense? 
Maybe I'm crazy 
Maybe I'm diminished 
Maybe I loved you 
Baby I loved you 
Baby I loved you 
Baby I loved you 
Baby I'm finished. 

I will give my best today 
I will give myself away 
I have never hurt anything 
Is the justice wavering? 
Does she know I sing 
That song? 
Sing along 
Sing along 
Sing along 
(I will never hurt anything) 
I have given myself away 
I have given my best today 
I have never hurt anything 
Is the justice wavering? 
Does she know I loved you 
Does she know I loved you? 
Does she know I sing?
