Charades

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Roping the beast as we're crushed underfoot As we're tied to our backs, as our oxygen's cut What the hell were we thinking when we went from the gut? Mix up the signals, confuse the transmission We're licking our wounds and arousing suspicion But I'll paste on a smooth face - the hell is a clean break? [Chorus: Mitch Wilson & (Ryan Ferguson)] (Slow Down) Bring out your hooks again (Slow Down) It's some bitter pill to swallow (Slow Down) Where's the sidewalk end? You'd better start talking (Talking Yeah) Bring out your hooks again (Slow Down) It's some bitter pill to swallow (Slow Down) Where's the sidewalk end? You'd better start talking (Talking Yeah) Hey Yeah Hey Yeah You'd better start talking (Yeah) Hey Yeah Hey Yeah You'd better start talking [Verse 2] You threw a fit when they ransacked your fortress Well what can I do when I'm locked in your hope chest? You take the guess work out of making a new mess I cocked an ear to the traffic outside I wondered what it would be like to fly But I'll paste on a smooth face - what the fuck is a clean break? [Chorus] (Slow Down) Bring out your hooks again (Slow Down) It's some bitter pill to swallow (Slow Down) Where's the sidewalk end? You'd better start talking (Talking Yeah) Bring out your hooks again (Slow Down) It's some bitter pill to swallow (Slow Down) Where's the sidewalk end? You'd better start talking (Talking Yeah) Hey Yeah Hey Yeah You'd better start talking (Yeah) Hey Yeah Hey Yeah You'd better start talking [Outro] Be a dear, fetch the razor. Time to cut me loose again In a sense innocence is slipping through the cracks again Be a dear, fetch the razor. Time to cut me loose again In a sense innocence is slipping through the cracks
