Ethics and Other Things

from Live at UMBC - Oct 17 2002 by Mike Roy

/

lyrics

The make-up’s caked upon
The sliding dress a long frame
Is hanging

Breathe out loud
Cracks at your foot
The snake smiles assuring you
You’re fine

The moment’s tinted grey
And in the crowded streets you
Sway

The question in your nerves
That’s lit
Assures you’ve found no answer
Fit

But the questions are gone so quick
Into this haze that growing
Oh so thick

And you want it so unstable,
But you hate it when it shakes

So close to worn thin
Far passed worn in
Almost bending until you break

And I don’t have to prove it to you
That most of their smiles are fake

But you want it so unstable
But you hate it when it shakes

You want it so unstable
But you hate it when it shakes
