Some say that things are the way they are
cause you got away with murder.
It's no stretch of the memory,
to know the day, to know the hour.
Some say nothing is gonna change,
and I'll get away with murder.
But I say if we just look inside,
we can get away, we can get away.

A hundred times I can sing this song,
and you'll get away with murder.
A hundred times I'll still be wrong,
'til you pass away, you'll pass away.
Counting corners in a round,
it's how we get away with murder.
Keep them in the dark is all,
nothing more you need, no more you need.

Sometimes it's alright,
to walk away without
time ever drawing near.
Someday we'll look back,
on all we did and say,
how could we?

Standing hands in my pockets-full,
you'll get away with murder.
Listening, hearing not a sound,
we'll get away, we'll get away.
Some kind of benefit is coming 'round,
so I'll get away with murder.
Here I am sticking to my ground,
not this again, not this again.

Sometimes it's alright,
to walk away without
time ever drawing near.
Someday we'll look back,
on all we did and say,
how could we?
