I'm a sentence spinner

An adjective machine

Spitting out syllables

Rarely say what I mean

All my shotgun statements

Are meant to confuse

Throw the dogs off the scent

That can lead to the truth

And expose me

But you see...


She's calling my bluff

She's taking me serious

Maybe I am too

She's playing too rough

She's taking me serious

Maybe it's the truth


I've always made an effort

To put things in the way

Try to guard my heart

With a cynical gaze

But she's been staring right back

Spending my time like cash

She's been throwing down challenges

I might have met my match


You can lie so long

That you take it as truth

Then someone comes along

And reveals it to you

Can no longer hide

Behind a wink and a nod

Now the gig is up

Got to lay down all your cards


They say in every lie

There's a clue to the truth

And she's been collecting evidence

That she's gonna use

She's been dusting for heart-prints

And recording my face

When I open up my mouth

I'm only helping her case
