It's as thin as Norwegian wood
What could a crook know about love?
I tend to chew what I can get,
not sure I know my body yet.

It hurts to show but it's not easy knowing what I know.
When I'm down, I'm so down
If I expressed myself, then you wouldn't stick around me.

It's as thin as Norwegian wood
What could this crook know about anything?
I thought I'd screech in the face of death but 
I went into liquidation like my businesses. 

It hurts to show but it's not easy knowing what I know
When I'm down, I'm so down 
If I expressed myself, then you wouldn't stick around me. 

Save yourself, a love like this is bad for your health.
Save yourself from the woman who loves you.

It hurts to show and it's not easy knowing what I know
When I'm down, I'm so down 
If I expressed myself, then you wouldn't stick around me. 

I'm no mystic but you can trust me with the rest of it
I was a flight risk in my time. If not for you, 
then rest assured I'd go without this life.
