You raised a fist in the air,
gave the briefest sideways glare"¦
Then smiled with crooked teeth.
You claimed you had the proof,
you swore it was the truth"¦
But I know better.
From the wings strung fishline,
silent trap doors and pulleys.
Your sleight of hand feat.
Big surprise!
But I play the easy mark well,
so I sat there in the dark.
Watching you tell neon lies.
All my life I've been noticing rubber knives,
expensive dentistry.
All my life I've been noticing safety lines,
trap doors and dummy feet.
You're not fooling me.
Tell your lies.
Tell your lies.
