Thrown to my enemy, I crowed with my skeleton lies - and I shivered, because it was cold
I hail from the other side where death is new and a stranger still - and I trembled, because the ground was shaking.
I'll be the villain, a rolling stone. I'll be the villain, a rolling stone.
They took me to the side like a little lamb that got astray.
But I know that lovely place they have for sinners, I'm afraid I just shivered, because it was cold.
And they gathered in that room where the killing was to be done.
But I saw you creeping out, you little bitch you're on the run. I just trembled, because the ground was shaking.
I'll be the villain, a rolling stone.
I'll be the villain, a rolling stone.
But you're a fool to believe I'd be the first to the floor.
I'm afraid you're deceived: I'll be the last out the door.
And you're a fool to believe you could leave with the dawn.
And you're a fool to believe I'd be dead and gone.
Lo and behold your death: the warm embrace of a lover's guilt.
I wonder if you are cold.
Now you know of your lover's plan you side with me, a broken man.
I wonder, is your ground shaking?
I'll be the villain, a rolling stone I'll be the villain, a rolling stone.
And I'll be your villain, a rolling stone.
