So You Think You Can Tell

So you think Think you can tell A refrain From a blocked drain A dream from a night terror sweat A flight from reality One day from another A truth from a lie Blunted passion from lust Love from the grave A tear from an onion or a blade Blood from a friend A bend from a straight The dark from the light Before and when the time has come So do you still think you can tell And have gotten your affairs in order Before you are told you can tell
