Victim or the Crime/Foolish Heart (Live at Bayfront Center, St. Petersburg, FL, October 16, 1988)

Bob Weir, Gerrit Graham, Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter

[Victim or the Crime]

[Verse 1]
Patience runs out on the bunny
The dark side hires another soul
Did he steal his fate or earn it?
Was he force fed? Did he learn it?
Whatever happened to his precious self control?
Like him, I'm tired of trying to heal
This tomcat heart with which I'm blessed
Is destruction loving's twin?
Must I choose to lose or win?
Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed
These are the horns of the dilemma
What truth this proof against all lies?
When sacred fails before profane
The wisest man is deemed insane
Even the purest of romantics compromise

[Chorus]
What fixation feeds this fever?
As the full moon pales and climbs
Am I living truth or rank deceiver?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
And so I wrestle with the angel
To see who'll reap the seeds I sow
Am I the driver or the driven?
Will I be damned to be forgiven?
Is there anybody here but me who needs to know?

[Chorus]
What it is that feeds this fever
As the full moon pales and climbs?
Am I living truth or rank deceiver?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime?
Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime?

[Instrumental]

[Foolish Heart]

[Verse 1]
Carve your name
Carve your name in ice and wind
Never flow
Look to where the river ends
Or where the river starts

[Chorus]
Everything that's in you
You think to be your part
Never give your love, my friend
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart

[Verse 2]
Learn to leap
Leap from ledges high and wild
Learn to speak
Speak with wisdom like a child
Directly to the heart

[Chorus]
Crown yourself the king of clowns
Or stand way back apart
But never give your love, my friend
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart

[Verse 3]
Shun a friend
Shun a brother and a friend
Never look
Never look around the bend
Or check the weather chart

[Chorus]
Everything within in you
You think could be your part
But never give your love, my friends
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart

[Bridge]
A foolish heart will call you...
Turn around and blame you
For the way you went astray
A foolish heart will cost you sleep
And most make you curse
A selfish heart is trouble
But a foolish heart is worse

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Bite the hand
Bite the hand that bakes your bread
Dare to land
Where the angels fear to tread
'Til you are torn apart

[Chorus]
Everything that...
...part
Never give your love, my friends
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart

[Outro]
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart

[Instrumental]
