lyrics

I shoulda known from the top
So many signs
All to betray
Each little thing
Gives you away
Whenever you smile it's a ruse
Just to deceive
Try to seduce
Me to receive
Tender abuse

You never mean whatcha say
Say what you mean
Hide what you will
Know what to seem
Slide in between
You're all about the pursuit
Fair weather friend
Conscious mute
Selfish ends
Wrestle the truth
How does it bend?

Ever so charming and mercurial
Whenever it was suitable
Just turn your back and slip another skin
Forever playing all the margins
And your personal entanglements be damned

Perish the thought you'd kill for sport
The taste for blood is in yours
Heritable
Perpetual
The chain links on forever

A hidden hand to protect
The man from the deed
Never to pay
Only to take
That's guaranteed
I was another mind to corrupt
Just suckered in
It’s no mistake
Money can make
You blind to the sin

Ever so charming and mercurial
Whenever it was suitable
Just turn your back and slip another skin
Forever playing all the margins
And your personal entanglements be damned

Perish the thought you'd kill for sport
The taste for blood is in yours
Heritable
Perpetual
The chain links on forever

Teach me a lesson
In passive aggression
And all of the mind games
Think of the conquest
Bay at the quarry
Slavering at the mouth

Perish the thought you'd kill for sport
The taste for blood is in yours
Heritable
Perpetual
The chain links on forever

Perish the thought you'd kill for sport
The taste for blood is in yours
Heritable
Perpetual
The chain links on forever
The chain links on forever
The chain links on…
