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
   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 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 runs for cover in the heat why don't they
  
   Do what they say, say what they mean
   One thing leads to another
   You tell me something wrong, I know I listen too long
   But then one thing leads to another
   One thing leads to another (Repeat)
