I can walk in and out this door, that?s no problem
I can take your hardest punch and more, I absorb them
I can listen to you when you launch your next tirade
I can give back twice as much leave you in the shade
I can get the sleep I need when the bed?s not even made
There?s only one thing sends me off the rails
That?s the silence, silence????..
I?ve got nothing hidden up my sleeve, makes me uneasy
I could never set out to deceive I blush too easy
If you hide your volcano I?ll know your smile?s a sham
I?d much prefer the china break or door go slam
Keep it in the open so I?ll know where I am
All you get from talking to a clam.
We still share the same bed every night but its not creaking
You?re the outside left I?m outside right when we?re not speaking
We can dream a different dream in the cold light of dawn
Still take in a party, smile like joan and sean
You can do your blue bayou, I sing the rocks?a?bawn
In the taxi home the knives are drawn.
