You raised a fist in the air
Gave the briefest sideways glare…
Then smiled with crooked teeth
You claimed you had the proof
You swore it was the truth…
But I know better
From the wings strung fishline
Silent trap doors and pulleys
Your sleight of hand feat
Big surprise!
But I play the easy mark well
So I sat there in the dark
Watching you tell neon lies
All my life I've been noticing rubber knives
Expensive dentistry
All my life I've been noticing safety lines
Trap doors and dummy feet
You're not fooling me
Tell your lies
Tell your lies
