So he knows something you don't
Five little secrets whispered
Oh, and you had something to say
But the people were our peasants
So you walked away from this avalanche
And left them for dead
They were our messengers and this is what they said:
"I don't think you're ready yet."
She thinks I'm drunk but I'm not
There are just so many reasons we can't get caught
And the sound of the shot is the sound of her heartstrings pulling taut
Oh, it's scandalous, these tales of woe
These are the memories and this is how they go
I don't think we're in control
But it's okay 'cause no-one's going to listen to a word that you say
They read your body language and think everything's okay
Now the penny's dropped, the past is slain
The rhythm of your pulse triggers action in your brain
So even as I talk to you these memories will fade
Spirited away in a slick, darn raid
But I never met a man who regrets the way he felt
When your eyes first met, and your heart began to melt
If only your eyes replaced the fear
And not the memory of the past few years
And now everything's fine, only happy endings all the time
And we're getting you help
And everyone we know is doing well
Until the curtain drops, it's all a show
These are professionals and this is all they know
I don't think we're in control
But it's okay 'cause no-one's going to listen to a word that you say
They read your body language and think everything's okay
Now the penny's dropped, the past is slain
The rhythm of your pulse triggers action in your brain
So even as I talk to you these memories will fade
Spirited away in a slick, darn raid
But I never met a man who regrets the way he felt
When your eyes first met, and your heart began to melt
