|
The deception with tact |
|
Just what are you trying to say |
|
You've got a blank face, which irritates |
|
Communicate, pull out your party piece |
|
You see dimensions in two |
|
State your case with black or white |
|
But when one little cross |
|
Leads to shots, grit your teeth |
|
You run for cover so discreet |
|
Why don't they |
|
Do what they say |
|
Say what you mean |
|
One thing leads to another |
|
You told me something wrong |
|
I know I listen too long |
|
But then one thing leads to another |
|
The impression that you sell |
|
Passes in and out like a scent |
|
But the long face that you see |
|
Comes from living close to your fears |
|
If this is up, then I'm up |
|
But you're running out of sight |
|
You've seen your name on the walls |
|
And when one little bump |
|
Leads to shock miss a beat |
|
You run for cover and there's heat |
|
Why don't they |
|
Do what they say |
|
Say what they mean |
|
One thing leads to another |
|
You told me something wrong |
|
I know I listen too long |
|
But then one thing leads to another |
|
One thing leads to another |
|
Then it's easy to believe |
|
Somebody's been lying to me |
|
But when the wrong word |
|
Goes in the right ear |
|
I know you've been lying to me |
|
It's getting rough, off the cuff |
|
I've got to say enough's enough |
|
Bigger the harder, he falls |
|
But when the wrong antidote |
|
Is like a bulge on the throat |
|
You run for cover in the heat |
|
Why don't they |
|
Do what they say |
|
Say what they mean |
|
One thing leads to another |
|
You told me something wrong |
|
I know I listen too long |
|
But then one thing leads to another |
|
One thing leads to another |
