Lyrics

All over this town
Yes, a low wind may blow
And I can see through everybody's clothes
With no reason to hide these words, I feel
And no reason to talk about the books I read
But still, I do

That's cause I'm a...
Sister I'm a...
All over this town

Along this way
Outside the prison gates
I love the romance of crime
And I wonder:
 "Does anybody fee the same way I do?
  And is Evil just something you are?
  Or something you do?"

Sister I'm a...
Sister I'm a...
All over this town

All over this town
They pull over in their Citroen vans
Not to shake your hands
With Meths on their breaths
And you with youth on your side
Oh no, no, no-no, waiting at the lights
But not this time

Sister I'm a...
Sister I'm a...
All over this town
All over this town
All over this town
All over this town
