Waterdeep - Wicked Web lyrics

You told me you had money coming down the way "Can I borrow fifty bucks, man, just to get me through the day" You promised you were free this time of all of your old ways But I bought your story last time, and I can't afford to buy today And I think I see the drummers now They're coming down the road They're striking up a funeral beat They heard you're getting old I know you. You ain't fought 'em You let 'em play the song Then you fell in step when they asked you if you wanted to come along CHORUS What a wicked web we weave when first we practice to deceive Spinnin out a house of make-believe We're like a serpent on the ear of Eve Well, brother if you mean to tell the truth You better improve your diction Cause the words that you been letting slide are definitely fiction I been lookin for a place to lay my sorrow down And I found out where to lay your lies up on that dying ground God knows what your debt has cost It's already been paid On a Roman cross, a screaming man and a cave where He was laid
