Story Behind The Song

Trying to tackle a common heavy subject that people can relate to with a song that has a hooky groove and vocal.

Song Description

Two situations where temptation was there- along with the truth... and choices were made in defiance of right and wrong b/c they got into the temptation side to far. I call it "Talkin to the crime..."

Lyrics

?Talkin? to the Crime?
Words and Music by Ken Johnson and Tim Jackson

Well there?s a lady on the corner
And she kinda makes you wonder when you think you got some lovin? due
And you think maybe but your torn between the thoughts about another
And the way that she was lookin? at you
But you turn the car around and you got your window down
And you find yourself forgetting to breathe
And you?re feelin? kinda funny with your hand on your money
When she tells you that the first one?s free

And now your talkin to the crime
Shoulda never let a demon in your mind
Angel beggin? ya not to take it from the vine
Cause you just sent a message to the devil
You were starin? down the barrel
When the gavel hit you from behind
You were talkin to the crime

She took a break from the norm
?Cause it wasn?t any fun sittin? home alone all afternoon
And though he says he?s just a friend
When he called her up again well she said maybe for an our or two
And now it?s quarter after five and he?s closer to her side that she ever thought that he would be
She takes the ringer of the phone turns around and turns him on
Somebody?s wonderin? where she could be

She?s talkin to the crime
Shoulda never let a demon in her mind
Angel beggin? her not to take it from the vine
Cause she just sent a message to the devil
She was starin? down the barrel
When the gavel hit her from behind
She was talkin to the crime

Be careful who
Your talking to
Temptation or truth
?Cause without your mind
Your hearts on the line
Every time? When your talkin to the crime?

And now your talkin to the crime
Shoulda never let a demon in your mind
Angel beggin you not to take it from the vine
Don?t wanna send a message to the devil
You were starin? down the barrel
When the gavel hit you from behind
You were talkin to the crime
And now your talkin to the crime
Shoulda never let a demon in your mind
You should know better than to take it from the vine
Your talkin to the crime
