One of us is lying, my instinct says it’s you
The jokes wear thin before the punchline and stick to me like glue
Making the biggest noise doesn’t make you king
When we are all just ones and zeroes underneath the skin
Parting ways… when the lines of communication have faded
I don’t speak the language, so please take me somewhere else
I don’t speak the language, so please take me somewhere else
Absolute affection is in the eye of the beholder
Says the sidewalk hustler in American leather
The boy by the cathedral sees daylight between the blades
On the wrong side of the river, we’ll go walking while he fades.
Parting ways… when the lines of communication are jaded
I don’t speak the language, so please take me somewhere else
I don’t speak the language, so please take me somewhere else
Look around, everything you see is real
But taking it for granted is still not a good idea
