All your hangers-on
Watch with anxious eyes
Watch your mouth to speak
Words mistaken wise
Can you explain away everything
That I know to be true?
Will you flinch if I criticize
Anything about you?
Anything about you?
Wash your nervous hands
Speak and only lie
Dismiss distances
Between you and I
Can you explain away everything
That I know to be true?
Will you flinch if I criticize
Anything about you?
Anything about you?
Preacher's only son
Wise man's only tie
Scorned by anyone
With an evil eye
