The Old Ceremony - You Left Something Out Songtexte

When we were kids
You'd play the cop,
I'd play the criminal,
But you left something out.

And now i see the change in you
Is more than chemical,
And you left something out.

Now you appear at functions
How you play the gentleman,
But you left something out.

Your easy smile, your little wave
Might fool those simpletons,
But you left something out.

And what did you think i would do-
Wash away the rain like the papers do?

You thought that you knew me;
You thought you saw through me.
I guess i left something out, too.

And as your power grew
You tried to lock you closet tight,
But you left something out.

'cause you should know
You can't hide the darkness from the night.
And you left something out.

And what did you think i would do-
Keep my mouth shut like you told me to?

You thought that you knew me;
You thought you saw through me.
I guess i left something out, too.

I generally prefer a farce to melodrama
Only you left something out.
'cause i have sworn an oath that i intend to honor.
Yes, and you left something out.

And what would you like me to say?
Well you'll find the words before you're passed away.

Well, you thought that you knew me;
You thought you could screw me.
I guess i left something out, too.
