It's a love just like the others, you'll tell me,
It's a love just like those that have come and gone,
It's not like that, I'll tell you, based on price 1 alone,
It's a love that's torn me in two.
In her body, I'm a cop,
In her body, I'm a thief,
In her body, there's a murder victim,
In her body, both Christ and vagrant live. 2
You don't know, you can't take your place,
Only I know how much I love her,
And if one day she hurts me like a knife,
I'll have another wound to bear 3
In her body, I'm a cop,
In her body, I'm a thief,
In her body, there's a murder victim,
In her body, both Christ and vagrant live.
Both Christ and vagrant...
Both Christ and vagrant...
