Criminal World lyrics

I look for the answer

I look for the light

I walk on every highway

Still I need you tonight

So let it be love

Lonely love

Let it be love

It's a criminal world

It hits like a bullet

It screams and it hurts

Is it my fascination

Or does love come inspired

Don't hand me down, don't push me down

Don't leave me lying on the frozen ground

You can shelter me with your sweet action

This world is splitting up and it's a chain reaction

It's a criminal world

You move like a vampire

Risen from dust

Is it my fascination

Don't hand me down, don't push me down

Don't leave me lying on the frozen ground

You can shelter me with your sweet action

This world is splitting up and it's a chain reaction

And when you point me to another place

I can turn my back upon this wilderness

And I'll step inside

Step inside

And find you waiting on the other side

It's a criminal world
