In a circle, wet with feeling   Eyes are shifting to the ceiling   And I’m gone, gone, gone  Thoughts are precious, you wear ‘em like a gawdy necklace  You know but I’m a little on edge  And you know some things are better left unsaid    Conversation, tricky business  How to say it without specifics   And we talk, talk, talk  And I wonder just what you would do  A good metaphor that I can use    They say to open up and let my feelings flow out  I say then be afraid, who knows just what might come out   Truth is on the tip of my tongue  The trick is how to lie    You say, just sit back and let it out  We swear that it won’t leave the room     It’s not a secret, if no one keeps it  If someone drops it, it turns to gossip   And we love to eat   I wonder just what you would do  Oh, maybe we could change the rules   As night begins to slip on in  I don’t know if I can hold it in    They say to open up and let my feelings flow out  I say then be afraid, who knows just what might come out   Truth is on the tip of my tongue  The trick is how to lie    these lyrics are submitted by trishofalltrades
