That's Just What You Are

(one two)





In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye

No guts to sever so forever may we wave goodbye

And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move

When i wonder what could make the needle jump the groove

I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book

So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook

By saying there is no use changing 'cause





That's just what you are

That's just what you are



Acting steady always ready to defend your fears

What's the matter with the truth, did i offend your ears

By suggesting that a change might be a thing to try

Like it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guy

It's not like you would lose some critical piece

If somehow you moved point a to point b

Maintaining there is no point changing 'cause





That's just what you are

That's just what you are



Now i could talk to you till i'm blue in the face

But we still would arrive at the very same place

With you running around and me out of the race





-very cool keyboard (mellotron?) solo-





So maybe you're right, nobody can take

Something older than time and hope you could make

It better, that would be a mistake

So take it just so far





'cause that's just what you are

That's just what you are

That's just what you are



Acting steady always ready to defend your fears

What's the matter with the truth, did i offend your ears

You're like a sleepwalking man, it's a danger to wake you

Even when it is apparent where your actions will take you





That's just what you are

And that's just what you are

That's just what you are

That's just what you are
