Safe, safe, enjoy your time feeling so safe,
and treasure that smile on your face,
okay? Because time will see that it's replaced in a while.
So go on, smile. And handshakes all around- that's your style, and no one
would call it denial, for you're not even sure what's in store, Though it's
more.
Than you'll be able to take standing up straight. And it won't be okay.
And you won' be somebody who it's just happening to, because it's a trap
that you, and only you,
have laid, laid with a towel up over your face,
in your armchair, just lying in wait,
waiting forces were gathering outside your door.
They sharpened their knives, knives and smiled with no smiles in their eyes,
a little bit larger in size and a little bit hungrier for that tiny prize.
And my mother once said "Son, remember this, no matter what someone did:
that they once were just a kid at breast and in bib, in blanket and crib.
So just reach inside yourself and find the part that still needs help,
find that part in someone else and you'll do good", so
I thought that I would.
( - - - - - - - ) X2
Hey I love you, it goes without saying.
I would give you the world on a tray, though
they're already tracing a
line across your throat.
Far too late in the game you'll
find that you have been
betrayed: propped up and pushed into your place.
I could claim that it all would
go great, but the reason I came is to say that it won't.
You should know that it won't,
You should know that it won't,
You should know that it won't, and so, Phillip, let go.

S[C]afe, safe, e[Am]njoy your time feeling so s[C]afe, and tr[Am]easure that smile on your f[Em]ace, okay? Because [Am]time will see that it's rep[D]laced in a w[G]hile. So go on, s[C]mile. And han[Am]dshakes all around- that's your s[C]tyle, and [Am]no one would call it de[Em]nial, for you're n[Am]ot even sure what's in st[D]ore, Though it's m[G]ore. Than you'll be a[F]ble to t[C]ake standing up st[G]raight. And it won't be o[Am]kay. And you won' be som[F]ebody w[C]ho it's just happening [G]to, because it's a trap that y[D]ou, and only you, have la[C]id, laid with a t[Am]owel up over your f[C]ace, in your arm[Am]chair, just lying in w[Em]ait, waiting fo[Am]rces were gathering ou[D]tside your d[G]oor. They sharpened their kn[C]ives, knives and s[Am]miled with no smiles in their ey[C]es, a l[Am]ittle bit larger in s[Em]ize and a li[Am]ttle bit hungrier f[D]or that tiny p[G]rize. And my mo[F]ther once s[C]aid "Son, remember t[G]his, no matter what someone [Am]did: that they on[F]ce were just a k[C]id at breast and in b[G]ib, in blanket and [Am]crib. So just r[F]each inside you[G]rself and find the p[C]art that still needs h[Am]elp, find that p[F]art in so[C]meone else and you'll do g[G]ood", so I thought that I wo[D]uld. ([F] - [C] - [F] - [C] - [F] - [C] - [G] - [Am]) X2 H[C]ey I l[Am]ove you, it goes without sa[C]ying. I would g[Am]ive you the world on a t[Em]ray, though they're al[Am]ready tracing a [D]line across your th[G]roat. Far too l[C]ate in the game you'll f[Am]ind that you have been bet[C]rayed: propped [Am]up and pushed into your p[Em]lace. I could c[Am]laim that it all would go gr[D]eat, but the reason I c[G]ame is to say that it wo[C]n't. [F] You should know that it w[C]on't, [F] You should know that it w[C]on't, [F] You should know that it w[G]on't, and [D]so, Ph[G]illip, let [C]go. MoAv
