I have a taste for true crime
Slashed nipples and all the rest
I confess I like true crime

Three men pick up a boy at Taco Loco
And say: "You're gonna be our leading man."
They drive to Arizona
Snuff him out on Betacam–
Ooo I wanna see that one

I have a taste for true crime
Faces of Death and all the rest
I confess I like true crime
From Don Juans in bloody sheets
To the hollow cheeks of dredged-up cheats
I have to say I feel complete
When I see true crime

Don't give me all your shit:
Life is good and death is bad
I can think of many lives
That are not worth living:

A quiet man who lives alone
Tries to bury all the thoughts
That are not permissible
He hopes there's a line that divides
Thought and action
I have a taste for true crime
Slashed nipples and all the rest
I confess I like true crime
From Don Juans in bloody sheets
To the hollow cheeks of dredged-up cheats
I have to say I feel complete
When I see true crime

Don't give me all your shit:
Life is good and death is bad
I can think of many deaths
That are worth giving
