lyrics

Somewhere in the universe there lived a world,
And on the world an ocean wide,
And far across the ocean stood a bar;
The only place in town to get your living down.
She walked into the room and sat down in a chair;
Ordered up a glass of Chardonnay Corbieres;
Opened up a book and pulled the candle close.
Her finger spun the pen, and at the count of ten

You're guilty of possession, the way they always do it;
Guilty of possession, I'm gonna hold you to it.
Guilty of possession, nine - tenths of the law
Guilty of possession, and that's your favor flaw.

The desert sparkles in the eyes of you.
The moon is swollen by your smile,
As fingers fall on what I shouldn't dare;
The secrets that they hold, born already old.
Obsession takes control of a well-intentioned mind.
She walked into this room and shut the door behind,
But life's an ultimatum; all we have to lose is time,
So take me as I am, holy fuckin damn,

You're guilty of possession, the way they always do it;
Guilty of possession, I'm gonna hold you to it.
Guilty of possession, nine - tenths of the law
Guilty of possession, and that's your favor flaw.
