lyrics
The Business Side.
Of all of the devils that take delight in twisting us,
By far the worst of them is pretty enough to make us trust,
It's not the hips in motion that keep me here sedate,
It's not the lips of ocean that leave me in their wake.
The years are nothing more than a map to grid the kills,
Each subsequent candidate is just enough to keep her thrilled,
It's not the hips in motion that keeps me here sedate,
It's not the lips of ocean that lie.
So sell your lover to keep another,
The Business Side is tearing me apart,
We cheat our brothers to hide the other,
Face we keep for promises and tarts.
Tales of the ocean deep are littered with the wrecks,
The foolish and pitiful are trying hard to steal my rest,
It's not the hips in motion that keeps me here sedate,
It's not the lips of ocean that lie, lie.
So sell your lover to keep another,
The Business Side is tearing me apart,
We cheat our brothers to hide the other,
Face we keep for promises and tarts...
Of all of the devils that take delight in twisting us,
By far the worst of them is pretty enough to make us trust,
It's not the hips in motion that keep me here sedate,
It's not the lips of ocean that leave me in their wake.
The years are nothing more than a map to grid the kills,
Each subsequent candidate is just enough to keep her thrilled,
It's not the hips in motion that keeps me here sedate,
It's not the lips of ocean that lie.
So sell your lover to keep another,
The Business Side is tearing me apart,
We cheat our brothers to hide the other,
Face we keep for promises and tarts.
Tales of the ocean deep are littered with the wrecks,
The foolish and pitiful are trying hard to steal my rest,
It's not the hips in motion that keeps me here sedate,
It's not the lips of ocean that lie, lie.
So sell your lover to keep another,
The Business Side is tearing me apart,
We cheat our brothers to hide the other,
Face we keep for promises and tarts...
