Charlatan brought such quality to the captivated crowd
But all along there were traps under their feet
In retrospect, there were such signs and signals
None of us recognized his photo on the walls
All we knew was that shiny things were so very pretty
Blanketed, choking on jewels in our jaws
Stop chanting and beating your chest
There's no cops
They've been chained in the cells and the stocks
Shut your eyes as the other shoe drops
Give a smile for the firing squad
Photographed, our mouths like open windows
Films and flags fought off the last of our resolve
The charlatan tripped the traps
We plunged feet-first into the gaps
Applauding as the earth collapsed
Pause
Your microscopes yield no fundamental flaws
Fall asleep to the clenching of jaws
When you wake up
Your eyes will be crossed from the blunt trauma of public relations
Charlatan brought such quality to the captivated crowd
But all along there were traps under their feet
Charlatan brought such falsity to the captivated crowd
But all along they were swallowing deceit
Charlatan brought such guarantees to the captivated crowd
But all along they were celebrating defeat
All along they were swallowing deceit
All along there were traps under their feetperformance:dennis harvey: all instruments | voice

Spilt milk tension
You burned the house down
Since then
You stared holes into the ceiling
Wishing for weightlessness
Stress mess
Trees bend to slap you as you pass
As if you had offended nature itself
(Since you said you had to go to see to how to take two I too had to see to how to stop you)
Stop drop roll
Kettle condensation
Stare at the telephone
Drone clone
Smash your head
Against the slot machine
Dreams seem not effective anymore
You swore you detected a secret door
Since you said you had to feel love
You're never satisfiedperformance:dennis harvey: keyboards | voice
