The Fixx

 The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
 You've got a blank face, which irritates
 Communicate, pull out your party piece
 You see dimensions in two
 State your case with black or white
 But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
 You run for cover so discreet, why don't they:

 Do what they say, say what you mean
 One thing leads to another
 You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
 But then one thing leads to another.

 The impression that you sell
 Passes in and out like a scent
 But the long face that you see comes from living close
 To your fears
 If this is up then I'm up but you're running out of sight
 You've seen your name on the walls
 And when one little bump leads to shock miss a beat
 You run for cover and there's heat, why don't they:

 Do what they say, say what they mean
 One thing leads to another
 You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
 But then one thing leads to another
 One thing leads to another

 Then it's easy to believe
 Somebody's been lying to me
 But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
 I know you've been lying to me
 It's getting rough, off the cuff I've got to say enough's enough

 Bigger the harder he falls
 But when the wrong antidote is like a bulge on the throat
 You runs for cover in the heat why don't they

 Do what they say, say what they mean
 One thing leads to another
 You tell me something wrong, I know I listen too long
 But then one thing leads to another
 One thing leads to another (Repeat
