The deception with tact
just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face which irritates

Communicate, pull out your party piece

You see dimensions in two

State your case with black or white
But when one little cross
leads to shots, grit your teeth

You run for cover so discreet
why don't they


Do what they say, say what you mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong

I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another


The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see

comes from living close
to your fears
If this is up then I'm up

but you're running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump

leads to shock miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat
why don't they


Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another

You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another

Yeah yeah yeah

One thing (one thing)

leads to another

Then it's easy to believe

Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word
goes in the right ear

I know why you've been lying to me
It's getting rough, off the cuff
I've got to say enough's enough

Bigger the harder he falls
But when the wrong antidote
is like a bulge on the throat

You run for cover in the heat
why don't they


Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong,

I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
One thing leads to another

Yeah yeah

One thing (one thing)

leads to another
One thing (one thing)
leads to another (another)
