Innocent

Don't let me down, I'll mistreat you.
You make me sound like an innocent fool.
Don't ask me why I'll mislead you.
Don't let me foul or replace your lie.

Those trusted eyes, well they're getting colder
As the cabbie turns off his lights.
Wait, watch your back, they're getting closer.
Raise the blinds to your delight.

Walk down to Belmont with a tear in your eye.
Conversationless I often wonder why.
I'm wide awake but I can never be on time.

Goodnight, and your confidence has fled
You're looking pretty tired so you go ahead and lie, lie, lie.
Sit tight with your crucifix in hand.
You better run cause I'm feeling pretty tough tonight. Lie, lie.
