VERSE 1:
they want you to break down and show’em the way
to the feelings they failed to express
they know what the name of your game is
though they’re not who you’re trying to impress
you’ve got the secrets they need to proceed
but first they’re gonna hafta confess
REFRAIN 1:
i…i work the room…
she’ll soon have much to say…
investigate the other
in an unsuspecting way
ay…like the strongest perfume…
my fragrance still remains…
my scent is everlasting…
and i never leave no stains
VERSE 2:
staying the same while you’re holding your own…
holding her feet to the flame
(“holding your nose…”)
soon she’ll descend to your throne
so stick around and see what remains
no they won’t be discreet as they try to beat it out of you
they’ve already battered your brains
their failure to see what could be
if they’d only remain in their chains…
OUTRO:
near and dear
that way we’ll all withstand the wear and tear
were in the here and now
they’re neither here nor there
learned every lullaby…
