I can hear a white lie
from ten miles away
been taken by the worst of them
I’m not easily led
the power of persuasion works
in strange ways
but I don’t worry about that
just when I think I finally got it all together
and I know what I mean
she moves in quietly
from some other where
she says, “leave room for argument-
you gotta let your thoughts breathe.”
now is that really that bad?
I lose my head when she starts to speak
and all my standards just disappear
she makes me strong and she makes me weak
everything she says sounds good to me
I can not be held responsible
brightens up my objectivity
everything she says sounds good to me
I’ve got opinions
they fall by the way
then I dig her delivery
everything’s all right
won’t you please excuse my appearance while I
respeculate
cuz I don’t know where I’m at
I clear my throat, she clears my head
I catch her drift and the fire is fed
she moves her lips and the gospel spreads
everything she says sounds good to me
how can I be held accountable?
brightens up my objectivity
everything she says sounds good to me
everything she says sounds good to me..
