Blue Rodeo - Nice Try lyrics

Well the best defense is the bright lights
Underneath which you commit that dark crime
Look I was there i watched it all go down
And I still can't believe my eyes
Nice try it's so wild nice try it's so wild

It's like a car burning on
The side of the road
Well someone got torched for not
Doing what they're told
It's like a paid vacation when
They change your name
It's like yesterday's news is the same again
And again, and again it's so wild
Again and again it's so wild

So when you dish the dirt you
Might as well dish the worst
'Cause no one expects you to tell the truth
And when they turn around they think that
Something must be wrong
'Cause no one could make up
A story so far gone it's so wild
So far gone it's so wild

Fact or fiction all parties deny
Any involvement at the scene of the crime
They look you cold straight in the eye
And say man you got the wrong guy
But nice try it's so wild
Nice try it's so wild
