Studying Politics

歌詞

It's like a pencil with erasers at both ends I want it all but we're 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 Break up the pieces and examine the parts Your words always cut when their cliche But here's 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 I've caught you once again It's in the way you sell every word and phrase 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 oh ho oh ho oh ho You'd like to think that you're 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 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 And I've caught you once again It's 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 Of your tears for emphasis Ah there's that smile again there's that smile again You fake it and I follow you right in What a fall again To fall for it each time This is the way it goes With you a part of it Nervously saying words That oh so tightly fit It's in the way you sell every word and phrase And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs This is the way it goes With you a part of it Nervously saying words That oh so tightly fit It's in the way you sell every word and phrase And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs Oh ho oh ho oh ho oh ho oh ho Black Dress and your eyes are telling white white lies White white lies Black Dress and your eyes are telling white white lies White white lies
