The Bait

Adverse talk in a Goddamned sanctorium
WE TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN
Cough up another fast one at his heel
WE TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN
That I can’t believe, I can’t believe
WE TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN
Tell me, old man. Tell me, old man, how you feel.
Deadened form’s no good for us.
No circus strongman to come for us
I can’t believe. I can’t believe.
WE TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN
Two Crooked minds have come, so pace yourself
High-Stakes talk, no Goddamned calibration
WE TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN
Mouthful of fiction and contagion
WE TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN
And I can’t believe, I can’t believe
WE TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN
Tell me, old man. Tell me, old man, how you feel.
Deadened form’s no good for us.
No circus strongman to come for us
I can’t believe. I can’t believe.
WE TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN
Two Crooked minds have come, so pace yourself
Don’t step off that rock, I’ll be your guide
I’d make a pretty good guide.
Don’t step off that rock, I’LL BE YOUR GUIDE
I’D MAKE A PRETTY GOOD GUIDE.
Deadened form’s no good for us.
No circus strongman to come for us
I can’t believe. I can’t believe.
WE TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN
Two Crooked minds have come, so pace yourself
Two Crooked minds have come, so pace yourself
Two minds to tell it all.
