lyrics

If it was not on the level
Would you let me know
If sands were shifting beneath
Our squarely planted toes

Would you then sound the alarm
while whistles rent the air
And use your poise and your charm
to smooth the ruffled hairs?

Chorus:
Everyone knows better than that
they know crouching low wont save your soul in a crash

But you know things, with mirrors and rings
And soapy words that'll take out the sting
when you saw us apart and together again
We'll still pick a card from your deck

And though I do doubt the shiny veneer
And I know that a gleam is not all it appears
I still love the feel of a breath in my ear
And a hand in my pocket below

Chorus:
We are not babes in the wood
We always thrown light on as much as we could

Middle-8
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me thrice thats a charm

But when you prefer haze
on a soft gauzy day
to the glaring blaze
of a winter sun's rays

I didnt want it at all...x4

You gave me gifts Id just as soon give you back
Filled up a suitcase I cant unpack
Drove me so far off my well beaten track
That Ill never find my way home
