lyrics

He says that he can walk on water,
Says he turn water to wine.
There's only one sign of forewarning-
'You got to bring an open mind'.

Your number rang out this evening,
This irony a cold hard fact.
See, I've wanted to speak for two year and eight weeks,
But I don't think I'll call you back.

Cause' it's so hard to listen to you,
Telling me I've got it all wrong.
When they broke you down into pieces,
And you sold them all for a song.

You said you wanted nothing between us,
You were working on a heart to heart.
You said you wanted nothing between us,
And now that's exactly what we've got.

You're just another traveling salesman;
Selling people dreams for free.
You can crash and then burn, no such things as wrong turns
When you don't have a place to be.

And it's so hard to listen to you,
Telling me I've got it all wrong.
When they broke you down into pieces,
And you sold them all for a song.

You traded all your love in for a hollow vow.
And so begins your pain, they applaud you while you slowly drown.

Yeah, it's so hard to listen to you,
Telling me I've got it all wrong.
When they broke you down into pieces,
And you sold them all for a song.
