It's so hard to hold back
I don't like surprises
The unwritten law
Another town, another one-night stand
You told the truth with your eyes
You know, you broke the law
I've got the evidence I know you're broke
Be careful how you dry your hair
In a dirty little room
You know, you broke the law
But you lied inside
I've got the evidence I know you're broke
Another town, another one-night stand
In a hole within a hole
You know, you broke the law
The unwritten law
I took out much more than I put in
I've got the evidence I know you're broke
You've got to learn to share your secrets
But I'm carrying the blame
Another town, another one-night stand
It ain't been that long
I know you're guilty
A silver dollar in my pocket
The unwritten law
Since the last charade
The unwritten law
I've got your souvenir
With nowhere left to hide
Or you'll lose your soul
In a room within a room
And I felt the pain
'Cos if you swim in dirty water
I've got the evidence I know you're broke
When the fire is in your eyes
Another town, another one-night stand
Is that the price I've got to pay
