To The Third Degree

Watch your mouth drop open

Did you have something to say?

I wouldn't waste my time with words

That never seem to matter anyway.

Cause I'm still standing

And I'm on top of the world

I watch you work your line with a smile

And never say a word.

Do you think I'm easy?

I think you want it this way.

So you can be the victim

When it becomes your role to play.

I'm just a perfect stranger

That you know by name

Sleeping with one eye open

Let's you play your game.

Will it make a difference?

I never wanted this way.

I walked an awkward line for awhile

And now there's hell to pay.

I think you're playing with fire,

You think you're playing for keeps.

And will it seem surprising

When what you sow is what you reap?

I'm just a perfect stranger

That you know by name

Sleeping with one eye open

Let's you play your game

You're living your life in anger,

Try to take your claim,

But now that my trust is broken

Watch me walk away.
