lyrics

You look like you’ve seen a ghost
In your kitchen in the middle of the night
You were sleepwalking naked
You were suddenly awaked
By the hum of your refrigerator
When its glowing light illuminates the milk in its container
You will be hip to the meaning of plastic
Where its expiration date is staring you in the face
So scared for a second you could start to explain it

Things are not the way they seem
They’re the way they’ve always been
And if you don’t know by now
I don’t think I could let you in

There will always be a whirlwind kicking dust up in your rearview
There will always be a stranger getting lost in stranger’s shoes
Whenever there’s a feeling there’s a killer on the loose
There will always be a Lynch mob stringing up a noose
There will always be a bullet frozen right between your shoulders
Oh, it does not change even as you grow older
They just change form and every minute one is born
We like to call them bad ideas
Which brings us to the circus
Which is where they got the blood-thirst
Do not discredit this initial disclaimer
When the lion met the tamer with her whip and wooden chair
She said I never thought I’d be an entertainer

Watch what hides inside your mouth
Who knows where those thoughts have been
And if you’re only sure of doubt
Then you’ve got the hang of things
Aren’t the way they seem to be
Things are the way they have always been

What if the meaning of deceit
Shines like gold inside of me
What if what is scheming underneath is
Nothing more than cheap machinery

Things are not the way they seem
They’re the way they’ve always been
And if you don’t know by now
I don’t think I could let you in

I wouldn’t let you win
