Strum
D-DU-UDU
Its like a pencil with erasers at both ends
I want it all but were dealing in percents
And these activities that you have engaged in
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him
We began with concluding remarks
Pick up the pieces and examine the parts
Your words always cut when they're cliché
But heres my knife because I came for the buffet
This is the way it goes
With you a part of it
Nervously saying words
That oh-so-tightly fit
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)
Ive caught you once again
Its in the way you sell every word and phrase
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)
Using hands for emphasis
(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)
Youd like to think that youre the best part of me
But I confess there is nothing left of you here (nothing left of you here)
These parallels and silly games
Hide your face and say the name
Say the name (say the name)
Theres that smile again
You fake it and I follow you right in
What a fool I've been
To fall for it each time
