A Criminal Mind lyrics

I Lyrics and Words by Lawrence Gowan
from his album Strange Animal

You`ve seen my hands are steady
You`ve seen my face before
Soon you can take your last look
And they`ll close the door
I stand accused before you
I have no tears to cry
And you will never break me
Until the day I die

A criminal mind was all I
All I`ve ever known
They`ve tried to reform me
Cause I`m made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I
All I`ve ever had
Ask one who`s known me
If I`m really so bad...
I am

I`ve spent my life behind these steel bars
I`ve paid my debt in time
But being brought to justice
That was my only crime
I don`t regret action
I`d do the same again
These prison walls secure me
And I`m numb to pain

A criminal mind was all I
All I`ve ever known
They`ve tried to reform me
But I`m made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I
All I`ve ever had
Ask one who`s known me
If I`m really so bad...
I am

Before you hand me over
Before you read my sentence
I`d like to say a few words
Here in my own defense
Some people struggle daily
They struggle with their conscience `til the end
I have no guilt to haunt me
I feel no wrong intent

A criminal mind is all I
All I`ve ever known
Don`t try to reform me
Cause I`m made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I
All I`ve ever had
Ask one who`s known me
If I`m really so bad...
I am

Oh I am
Oh I am
I`m made of cold stone
Made of cold stone
I`m just like these prison walls
A criminal mind
