Silly Habits |
| Faithful is a lie |
| Freedom’s just a game |
| Somebody tacked onto |
| Your ball and chain |
| Love is a drug |
| You’ve been canonized |
| Want to be a high priestess? |
| Then you got to sacrifice |
| Somebody wants you |
| To put out your eyes |
| And drag you lower |
| On the ladder than he is Reel you in slowly |
| Kingfish on a line |
| Some people get a kick |
| Out of making you suffer |
| You try the patience of the gods |
| In the heat of a moment’s pleasure |
| And your sad retreat |
| Mistake the moment for the song |
| The actor for the role |
| The neon light for day |
| Somebody wants you |
| To clip your wings |
| Take shelter in the dark |
| And the savage heat |
| Mocks you with the burning sky |
| And drops you in the ring |
| Somebody gets a kick |
| Out of seeing you suffer |
| He can’t take pleasure |
| He feeds on pain |
| He ain’t no gambler |
| He just likes to play the game |
| It’s a measure of a man |
| It’s a candle in the rain |
| To treasure the link |
| And not the chain |
