Pleasure to Meet You
02:36

|
It was a pleasure to meet you but
the level of deceit you showed me
is quickly taking all of your appeal
surrounded by diamonds
luscious and fine
you hooked me on a pyramid of lies
Like a man on a train
goes along to sustain the
thing that always disappears inside your cool dark ways
behind those shades
there’s a demon up inside
hungry for the passions of the old and wise
I won’t hide behind a broadsheet
sit in this uncomfortable seat
to see you leaving in the next few stations
It could be unintentional
but I might just adventure still
and speak the clearest picture of my mind
it’s not evidence I’m giving
bet there ain’t a person living
to hear the dire story of our time
Keyboards keep clicking
and nothing is more sickening to
me than writing off your cursed lies
those hot white lines
whip around the dying thought
that at any time I’d see your nicer side
I won’t hide behind a broadsheet
sit in this uncomfortable seat
to see you leaving in the next few stations
Ya da da da da
Da da da da
etc.
Trip me up
with a handbag strap
throw me from the carriage in the dead of night
no matter how you wind me
it’s impossible to win, see
I’m actually a spirit in disguise
I won’t hide behind a broadsheet
sit in this uncomfortable seat
while you grind salt and pepper in my eyes

Devil's Den

Bricks and mortar make the devil’s den
I am sure to become his friend
if I keep living my life this way
Gabriel was the name of the angel
he said son I’m sure I can save you
just walk with me into the light
Imagine my disbelief
angel and the devil following me
trying to be the one that wins my soul
Now what should you do
with the angel and the devil following you
climbing up your arms to take control
(Solo)
What should you do
with the angel and the devil following you
trying to be the one that wins your soul
I’m not a religious man
but I’ve got a tiny devil in my hands
which side should I follow
Should I go with my angel friend
off to heaven you can’t force my hand
I will make this choice on my own
