Lyrics
Between the Lines
You?ve got to know when to jump
You?ve got to know what to say
You?ve got to know everything
Or how to fake your way
It?s best you watch how you speak
Around some people you meet
Who take a nosy little peak
Into your files or your briefs
Because you know that the truth
Is between the lines of the show
I?ve got them down to a T
All of those phonies I meet
They smile real wide cheek to cheek
But in your back they?ll sink it deep
I don?t intend to be mean
But these folks are obscene
Either kissing but or mean
You bet they?re no where in my dreams
Because you know that the truth
Is between the lines of the show
I don?t want them to hang around
When my time is my own
I have real friends to be around
But they?re all back home
Where I wish I was right now
It?s a one fare zone
Train or bus back home
I know the world as it is
I?m not naïve or a kid
If you don?t watch for snakes
It will be your lasy mistake
