One Step Behind - The Living End

Come in sit by the light

Tell us everything that happened tonight

We know you were there

There at the scene of the crime

No, no you’ve got it all wrong

You can’t blame me

For something I haven’t done

It was all just a big mistake

And now you can’t think straight

Cause they’re onto you now

And they’ve figured you out

Cause they’re onto you now

They’re always just one step behind

And you’re so scared of what they’ll find

And now you’re running for your life

You’re buying everything they sell

Those pushed will always say they fell

You got a postcard sent from hell

With my strong alibi

You can’t frame me, don’t even try

You don’t know me

You’re not even trying to see

And now you can’t think straight

Cause they’re onto you now

And they’ve figured you out

Cause they’re onto you now

They’re always just one step behind

And you’re so scared of what they’ll find

And now you’re running for your life

You’re buying everything they sell

Those pushed will always say they fell

You got a postcard sent from hell

And you don’t belong

And the papers are never wrong!

Just like the public don’t forget, don’t forget, don’t forget

And now you can’t think straight

And now you can’t think straight

You’re not even trying to see

They’re always just one step behind

And you’re so scared of what they’ll find

And now you’re running for your life

You’re buying everything they sell

Those pushed will always say they fell

You got a postcard sent from hell
