lyrics

Better to leave this as we found it
Cut the lights and then you've got it
Over my head
Takes a long, long time

Doesn't mean the lie still fits, doesn't mean the type still fits the crime
Doesn't mean the lie still fits, doesn't mean the type still fits the crime

Some kind of ordinary type, etc.

And it's all the same, you've only got yourself to blame
It's all the same
And I'm not giving up while there's an offer out
it complicates what's so uncomplicated

Better to leave this as we found it
Cut the lights and then you've got it
Over my head
Takes a long, long time

Doesn't mean the lie still fits, doesn't mean the type still fits the crime
Doesn't mean the lie still fits, doesn't mean the type still fits the crime
Cut back to the obvious trick
Cut back to the one you use all the time
Cut back to the obvious trick
Cut back to the one you use all all the time

Some kind of ordinary type, etc.

And it's all the same, you've only got yourself to blame
It's all the same
And I'm not giving up while there's an offer out
it complicates what's so uncomplicated

Doesn't mean the lie still fits,
doesn't mean the type still fits the crime
