lyrics

The Joy of Ulterior Motives:

Verse 1

If I held you into the dark
Would it be a compliment?
If this is with me 
Please tell me it’s getting you too

Check your front door
And lock it
Hide your jugular in your back pocket
I’ve got this feeling I just cannot shake
That I’m being fed like a rat to a snake

Pre-Chorus 1

So you can run, you can hide
You can run your mouth and lie
You’ll meet your maker in the end

Ponzi schemes and mondegreens
Won’t keep you sheltered from your stormy weather

Chorus

We’re tied to these blood red handcuffs
We’re bound by this bright red chain
One of us can try to look so tough
When we’re both blinded by these chains

Verse 2

This one started off as a duet
But a few pages got lost along the way
This heat here’s getting a little heavier now
But remember these shackles
They give off a rattle

A sneaking suspicion
Might give you a God-on-Demand
To justify your singing
About coming undone
Silver hides the lying tongue
But even the Rio Grande
Can’t hide shaking hands

Pre-Chorus 2

So you can run, you can hide
You can run your mouth and lie
You’ll meet your maker in the end

Forgotten kings and frilly things
Are all left lying naked in the sand

Chorus

We’re tied to these blood red handcuffs
We’re bound by this bright red chain
One of us can try and look so tough
When we’re both blinded by chains

We’re tied to these blood red handcuffs
We’re bound by that bright red chain
One of us can try and look so tough
We’re blinded
We’re blinded

Outro

I know that you know pride comes before the fall
