more than four hours since we started
can't take another night like this
you'd think by now we'd have discarded
courting games and dirty tricks
are you scared being made a fool of?
your winding ways suggest you're shrewd
daren't you risk being made a fool of?
clinging to the ritual
and all these shallow things you ask me
by chance extracted out of lists
we want the pleasure of our bodies
why should we crawl through all of this?
sd sad let's dance the best we can
your closet questions are the oddest
like some trainee analyst
i'd thought of better things to chew on while you
make believe no bodies don't exist
maybe you see us as a contest
the winner tells the biggest lies
i see you see us as a contest
and guess who's referee and prize
still afraid being made a fool of?
bothered by some tribal view?
daren't you risk being made a fool of
now you're numb with dope and booze?
too sad let's dance the best we can
it's gone five hours since we started
won't last another night like this
i'd hoped we would have disregarded
protocol and artifice
still afraid being made a fool of?
scared to death by honesty?
by keeping all these questions from you
i've made a bigger fool of me
so sad let's dance the best we can
dick witts
