You're the artful dodger
The mystery joker
And you're hiding behind

Your wall of humour

You're the artful dodger

The great pretender
I can't figure you out or get a little closer


How could I have jumped into the cold
With the unpredictable
The rest if predictable

How could I have jumped into bed
With the frivolous
Why did I have to challenge the universe


You're the artful dodger
The comic actor

And I should have known better
Than to attempt to decipher


You're the artful dodger
The classic danger
And I'm ashamed of myself

Cause this is all too familiar

How could I have jumped into the cold

With the unpredictable
The rest if predictable
How could I have jumped into bed

With the frivolous
Why did I have to challenge the universe


You're the artful dodger
My heartbeat stopper
But you're hiding behind

Your wall of humour
