lyrics

VERSE 1:
I was a public enemy. I could
Steal a kiss but always… get off free
If someone got hurt well better her than me
I couldn’t be tied down

Never returning to the scene
If I made a break I always made it clean
Protected my autonomy I was
Wanted all over town

PRE-CHORUS:
But then one day something came over me
Was it love some kind of trap or was it destiny
You walked on and I went quietly
As I’d stopped to worship the ground

CHORUS:
You’re the star witness but we’re miles apart
You’re the star witness, let my sentence to start
You’re the star witness you’re the trial of my heart
you’re the Star witness to me


VERSE 2:
No single girl could ever fit the bill
I’d see a new girl and give her a thrill
There’d always be more… soil to till
I’d always have to move on

I always thought I’d be king of the hill
The girl I kept would have to follow my drill
I thought I’d wear all the… pants until
You came and made me your pawn

HARMONICA SOLO over pre-chorus chords.

CHORUS:
You’re the star witness and we’re miles apart
You’re the star witness, I want my sentence to start
You’re the star witness you’re the trial of my heart
You’re the star witness to me
