Lyrics Snake in the Grass - Much The Same

Snake in the Grass

Wait for me by the sea
I’ll tell you everything you needed to believe
Through encoded messages and texts
Communication at its best, that’s me
Can’t you see me smiling
Through the teeth made out of wood?
This feint’s not working out so good, you see
I’m a bit of everything, a farce from the start
You were the ruse, you were the cover, of a deception like no other
You’ll know the truth when you discover
I’m more than an inconvenient lover
I’ll try to keep the intelligence brief
This plot is not as thick as it seems to me
I’ll stand here outside in the cold
Waiting for an ally to relieve my post
A turncoat switched at your behest
Treason’s not so bad in jest, I’m told
My allegiance has been sold
An infiltrator in your care, a snake in the grass, I know you’re scared
But I won’t succumb to fear like a shade in the dark
You were the ruse, you were the cover, of a deception like no other
You’ll know the truth when you discover
I’m more than an inconvenient lover
I’ll try to keep the intelligence brief
This plot is not as thick as it seems to me
Can you release me from this service
‘Cause no one here deserves this
The winds of change will clear the way
And leave me with a world to pave
You would bless me if you cursed this
‘Cause it’s too late to reverse this
We’ve come too far to clear the stain
I’ll build my house out of the waste
You were the ruse, you were the cover, of a deception like no other
You’ll know the truth when you discover
I’m more than an inconvenient lover
I’ll try to keep the intelligence brief
This plot is not as thick as it seems to me
