You've
got it all figured out
Of how to answer every move
You lead each dance, take her hands
And make her fall into the groove
And say I know
by the touch of your skin
We hold the winner's hand
if you just let me in
Then declare what
you want from life
Listen to rhymes,
you take the easy way
When she decides to step into the light,
you step back into the shade
Cause you know,
and you've been knowing all along
You hold the joker's hand
and sing the fool's song
over and over again
With emotions on the leash,
you know how to live through the day
You always know what to say
And rain is falling down
And you curse the slippery ground
You'll never notice the sound
Of the voices that tell you to stay
In self -pity with the dark sad eyes,
the show is on in a crowded bar
You look for comfort
and what you desire is to fall
into a stranger's arms
And say I don't,
by the scent of your skin
You can ease my pain,
if you just let me in
And you start it all over again
With emotions on the leash
You know how to get through the pain
You always know what I say
But rain keeps falling down
And you curse this slippery ground
You'll never notice the sound
Of the voices that tell you to stay
When emotions are the leash
You know how to live through the day
You always know what to say
But rain keeps falling down
and you catch the slippery ground
You'll never notice the sound
of the voices that tell you to stay
You
