starting off with a slow dance,
the room sways with rented lights
divide the potential dancers
to their own sides of the room
another friday night in view
after the set up is over
and I look down on you
what you fail to understand…
is every chord is due…for upsetting you
a politely-spoken “no”,
delivered just so
sets off this signature waltz
timing deprived, he steps outside
leave it to me to throw off your guard
with this much practice it shouldn’t be hard
it’s clear I haven’t let you down
as he spins you around

open for business, in a closed-circuit
too many flies drawn to flesh
one last joke to pass and not get
one bad omen to go home with
once the eyelet’s in the rabbits feet
the pilot’s bound to make it to sweeps
new light shines on darkened faces
reading too much into the empty spaces
with fretless fingers
and your ivory, lying tongue
you’re no longer number one
once the eyelet’s in the rabbits feet
the pilot’s bound to make it to sweeps
new light shines on darkened faces
reading too much into the empty spaces

Step aside, for the big takeover
cast your vote, yea or nay
the decision is yours
as long as it’s what we want
this is my project now, you’ll see
you’ll notice, eventually,
how it appeared so gradual
so gradually
little concessions, here and there
now you’re my little errand boys
big speeches to make you feel important
while you’re quietly whisked away
the hive is working for you
(as long as you believe it)
and all the effort behind the scene
the late-night dinners and bribes
will pay off in the end for me
long after they’ve forgotten about you
whispers and belittling, behind your back
is the strategy of my attack
you’re no longer up to code
meet your replacement and shake his hand
smile politely and stifle your stand
here’s the big payoff to the smear campaign
meet the client and chill the champagne
i have my own clock
and i know how to use it
and i won’t hesitate to show
how you abuse it
make friends with your enemies
and keep them closer
raise your glass, propose the toast
this is your new life

You Never Knew This Kid

are you getting the same impression?
I left by way of confession
that I’d rather be empty than a mixed-bag full of shit I don’t understand
when we were kids, did you ever regret the things we did?
that put us into the position, our situation is in
I never wanted us to have to be this way
I never even tried to wish you away
can you see my head spinning?
I can feel you think I am winning,
but I can’t say that I feel anything at all
this is the way it works now
everyone says they know now, but what do they know?
I never told how I felt to anyone before
I never wanted us to have to be this way
I never even tried to wish you away
you may have taken this the wrong way,
but every guilty conscience will have its say
and play their little tricks to keep you on your guard
the quills have come to life now,
anxious to disapprove how I fucked up things,
so long before, that still make me smile
I never wanted us to have to be this way
I never even tried to wish you away
