Great Escape Artist

You sit around there telling stories
Taking chips from old past glories
I had never thought that you'd wake
A single left, choose
With some parts that you can't use
That's why I never liked your pity parties

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now now it's him cryin' help
You talk about me so much
That I think that you're in love with me

Yea, you do, it's true man, your busted
You talk about me to your friends
Or anyone with time to listen
You can never ever be trusted
You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself

He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but it's him cryin' help
End to the lies, end to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies now you you were the foreskin
I was the real head you were the foreskin
You never really change like they say

Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but it's him cryin' help
End to the lies, end to the lies end to the lies
End to the lies, end to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies, End to the lies

You sit around there telling stories
Taking chips for old past glories
I had never thought that you'd wake
I'm selling my abstruse missing
Parts that you can't use
That's why I never liked your pity party

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now I'm still crying hell

You talk about me so much
That I think that you're in love with me
Yeah, you do, it's true man, your busted
You talk about me to your friends
Or anyone with time to listen
You could never ever be trusted

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now I'm still crying hell

End to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies, end to the lies

Now you
You were the foreskin
I was the real head
You were the foreskin

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now I'm still crying hell

End to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies, end to the lies

There's birds up in the trees
My words they want to eat
They wait for me to speak
They swoop in and swallow them down

There's people on the ground
Hungry for some beats to pound
Don't need no bread
They just scream for a morsel of
Sound, more sound

Out, right out
Took the words
Right out of my mouth

Then you came into the room
Everybody was, bam
Well she must be a rockette
One said done and the others said
Wow, oh wow

Out, right out
Took the words
Right out of my mouth

Out, right out
Took the words
Right out of my mouth

Then when I stared back
Into your eyes
We had the same expression
Complete surprise
And we're about to let it out
These words from my mouth

He said
Wow, oh wow

Out, right out
Took the words
Right out of my mouth

Out, right out
Took the words
Right out of my mouth

Oh yeah, there's birds up in the trees
Look there's birds up in the trees

I had no mother
I felt no trust
No family structures
Yes, I've been busted

I laid my bed out
In my back seat
Under the stars is
Where I would eat

Ooh sometimes I got lucky, I
I got nailed too, real good
She, she was way over my head
Couldn't help myself
Hid my past from you

To fit in, to fit in with
Ooh and yes get in bed with you
I had to have a way of
Telling tales somewhat twisted

Told you white lies
I used white magic
Need you to know
That I'm not a reject

I've been committed, but
Not for a long time
Long over that and
You can believe it

Ooh sometimes I got lucky, I
I got nailed too, real good
She, she was way over my head
Couldn't help myself
Hid my past from you

To fit in, to fit in with
Ooh and yes get in bed with you
I had to have a way of
Telling tales
Somewhat twisted

Oh somewhat twisted
Oh twisted

Ooh sometimes I got lucky, I
I got nailed too, real good
She, she was way over my head
Couldn't help myself
Hid my past from you

To fit in, to fit in with
Ooh and yes get in bed with you
I had to have a way of
Telling tales
Somewhat twisted

Oh I have to tip-toe around so as not to make a loud sound, oh-oh
Oh what you put her through look at her tryin' not to wake-up the girl, oh-oh
What was she thinkin' tryin' to keep up with you every habit you have, oh-oh
It's cause she loves you so, don't tell her she not lookin' so good, oh no

Just, splash a little water on it
See what you're working with
Splash a little water on it
And see if it comes alive

Last night oh-oh it almost all went up in smoke
You cannot choke without them knowing
You keep on going

We been drinkin' and smoking til four, five or six in the morning, oh-oh
I take a splash of water to bring me around and get going, oh-oh
You gotta treat her like a flower, man, women need time to recover, oh
I flex at my reflection heading into the town a great hunter, yeah

I didn't want to wake you up, it's over there
I left some water in the cup, on the stand
I'll call you later, oh I just I don't know when
Here's to remind you of your man forever

Splash a little water on it
And see what you're working with
Splash a little water on it
See if it comes alive

Last night oh-oh it almost all went up in smoke
You cannot choke without them knowing
Keep on going
