The Tricks

Pianos Become the Teeth

How obvious these hidden things, how easy how little we show
I'm just skipping to the casket, walking on my hinds every night, she knows

Don't wait up for me anymore

I'm tricking the long hand with my song and dance, as fast as I can
Red wine bedside manor, testing her blood pressure at the ready, she knows

Don't wait up for me anymore
"As long as you've known..."

It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away from us
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away

You're just close enough
You're just close enough
You're just close enough
You're just close enough
You're just close enough
You're just close enough
You're just close enough
You're just close enough
For a finishing touch
Touch

It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
It's slipping away
