I went out in the darkness

Just searching for someplace to be

Wasn't looking for trouble

I guess it was looking for me

And I knew I was wasting my time

But it was nobody's business

Nobody's business but mine

I was taking some comfort

I needed a break from the rain

I guess I was mistaken

And someone remembered my name

But I knew I was doin' just fine

And it was nobody's business

Nobody's business but mine

Well I guess for some

Revenge is sweet

Though it be once removed

I hope you feel better

I don't know what you proved

Well, yonder comes the Emperor, boys

He sure looks fine in blue

I hope you feel better, babe

I know you're scared too

Well it sure makes you wonder

The things that some people will say

They can see black and white but they

don't seem to notice the gray

What a price for a victimless crime

When it was nobody's business

Nobody's business but mine

Yeah, it was nobody's business

Nobody's business but mine
