Hiding Places

You really got it on the money
this time, now didn't you?  Yeah
you really messed it up this time,
how could you?
That seems strange, how you
know it all.  Tell me another
story, on your head, before it falls
Let's not choose favorites now, we've
all seen this before.  Let's reflect
on the hiding places and the
cutting words.  And you were
there, you were there, I swear,
you were there
The skies look violent, don't
they?  Maybe they've come to kill
you
The stars are looking rather
sharp tonight.  I think they've
come out to slit your wrists like
you eyes do
Let's not choose favorites now, we've
all seen this before.  Let's reflect
on the hiding places and the
cutting words.  And you were
there, you were there, I swear,
you were there
And you were there, you were
there, I swear you were there
You seen it all
And you were there, you were there
I swear you were there
To watch me fall
And you were there, you were
there, I swear, you were there
