Nice Try - Blue Rodeo

Well the best defense is the bright lights

Underneath which you commit that dark crime

Look I was there

I watched it all go down

And I still can’t believe my eyes

Nice try it’s so wild

Nice try it’s so wild

It’s like a car burning on the side of the road

Well someone got torched for not doing what they’re told

It’s like a paid vacation when they change your name

It’s like yesterday’s news is the same again

And again, and again

It’s so wild

Again and again

It’s so wild

So when you dish the dirt you might as well dish the worst

'Cause no one expects you to tell the truth

And when they turn around they think that

Something must be wrong

'Cause no one could make up a story so far gone

It’s so wild

So far gone

It’s so wild

Fact or fiction all parties deny

Any involvement at the scene of the crime

They look you cold straight in the eye

And say man

You got the wrong guy

But nice try it’s so wild

Nice try it’s so wild
