Depeche Mode Walking in my shoes lyrics

I would tell you bout the things They put me through The pain I ve been subjected to But the Lord himself, oh, would blush The countless feasts laid at my feet Forbidden fruits for me to eat But I think your pulse would start to rush 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 You ll stumble in my footsteps Keep the same appointments I kept If you try walking in my shoes If you try walking in my shoes 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 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
