Track 2 of 'Three Brass Monkeys'

Speak No Evil

lyrics

He led with his smile and danced with his tongue,
He wore velcro shoes and covered them up,
With a fast car and a black suit and his black book was turning yellow.
He had quicksand in the palm of his hands.

His name spelt your mistake,
And you were added to the black book.
Try and sift your way,
Through this shredded city.

The past knows,
But he is nowhere near that place
He lies,
Swamped in the fake truth of today,
The past knows,
That he is lying through his teeth.

The con man had a mark on his head,
And his conscience it became less and less.
He was the prince of and he dealt with the seven deadly sins.
He led the innocent down bottomless pits.

His name spelt your mistake,
And you were added to the black book.
Try and sift your way,
Through this shredded city.

The past knows,
But he is nowhere near that place
He lies,
Swamped in the fake truth of today,
The past knows,
That he is lying through his teeth.

The charmer walked with a vicious mind,
And he broke down homes with a wrecking ball between his legs.
He told your world he'd be there for a while,
But now he's done he is more than on is way.

The past knows,
But he is nowhere near that place
He lies,
Swamped in the fake truth of today,
The past knows,
That he is lying through his teeth.
