Not a Word

Who's knocking at the front door?
I'm laughing can I have more?
Spinning on your heels back the way that you came

It's a matter of opinion
It's a pity you don't have one
Pushing in that last iron nail with my fist

Big shot on a tiny screen
Who's acting cool and acting mean
Broken mirrors filled up with yesterday's dreams

Time to not say a word
Time to not say a word

A shaved card from crooked deal
I split your lip and I'll make you kneel
And you'd think I'd stop here just for you, dear

Looking though the painted glass
Feelings true they never last
Do I see a tear down the side of your face?

The book is old and the pages torn
Long before when I was born
But to you it's new and it's all that you know

Time to not say a word
Time to not say a word

Who figured out what it's all about
Who heard the gun but didn't start
Thinking it's too late now
But that's just a lie

Blazing sun is too bright to see
Who's swinging from a hanging tree
Just another fool acting too smart for me

I kick a can down a country mile
I walk for days just to catch a smile
In a little while I've forgotten your name
A donkey in a one horse town
Masquerading as a broken clown
Singing songs of sadness and songs of deceit

Time to not say a word
Time to not say a word
