Line Up Lyrics by Ross Golan

The Wrong Man

2019

[Intro]
Woah-ooh
Woah-ooh
Lineup, lineup, lineup
Catch you in the lineup
[Verse 1]
They took me back to the precinct
The Washoe County Sheriff asked if he could meet me
That's when he said, "Let's address the elephant in the room
You got information that is relevant, tell the truth
Don't act like a saint, like you're celibate
For Heaven's sake, we found your DNA
The evidence is overwhelming, kid
Now, either you went on a rampage or some other fella did
We don't believe it was baby mama's former relative
We know you killed the man just for the hell of it
And then you stabbed your girl 'cause you don't want a baby yet
Just tell us what ya did
And the judge will let you live or you're dead
'Cause we'll make a witness point you out instead"
[Chorus]
And we'll catch you in the lineup, lineup, lineup
Catch you in the lineup, woah-ooh
Lineup, lineup, lineup
Catch you in the lineup
[Verse 2]
"Wait, wait, Sheriff, please, let me explain
From the minute that I met her when she walked into Ray's
She had the word 'mistake' tattooed all over her face
But we got really wasted and went back to her place
She played "Take Off Your Clothes" and we got naked
She took the test, learned she's having my baby
She must've told her ex 'cause he went fucking crazy
And framed me
Please, man, you gotta believe me
I'm just an average guy, I don't got much
I make enough to survive but I've been down on my luck
Even though my alibi put me next to the gun
I didn't kill no one, so don't lock me up"
He said, "Son, you had the motive
We know you phoned in 911
We ain't goin' home until the case is closed
And the D.A. announces that it's done"
[Chorus]
And we catch you in the lineup, lineup, lineup
Catch you in the lineup, woah-ooh
Lineup, lineup, lineup
Catch you in the lineup, woah-ooh
[Bridge]
Locked in the interrogation room, room, room
What can I do? What can I do?
A single halogen light flickering like woo, woo, woo
What can I do? What can I do?
The one-way mirror paints a picture of me doomed, doomed, doomed
What can I do? What can I do?
The court-appointed lawyer walked in, his arm around the chief
Said, "Don't expect to go home soon"
[Chorus]
They're gonna catch you in the lineup, lineup, lineup
Catch you in the lineup, woah-ooh
Lineup, lineup, lineup
Catch you in the lineup, woah-ooh
If you were smarter, you'd sign the line
Confessing the details of both of the crimes
They're ready to barter, reduce your time
They'll trade execution for life
Or they'll catch you in the lineup, lineup, lineup, lineup, woah-ooh
Lineup, lineup, lineup
Catch you in the lineup, woah-ooh
