[Intro]
This is what I've been waiting for
I was thinking that you're being a cop
This is what happened to people
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kеpt
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep thе same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
[Interlude]
Do you like it hot?
This is what happened to people
[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
[Coda]
Do you like it hot?
This is what happened to people
Do you like it hot?
It was my favourite behaviour type
This is what I've been waiting for
It was my favourite behaviour type
This is what I've been waiting for
Wh-what?
This is what I've been waiting for
I was thinking that you're being a cop
This is what happened to people
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kеpt
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep thе same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
[Interlude]
Do you like it hot?
This is what happened to people
[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
[Coda]
Do you like it hot?
This is what happened to people
Do you like it hot?
It was my favourite behaviour type
This is what I've been waiting for
It was my favourite behaviour type
This is what I've been waiting for
Wh-what?
