Album: Empty Hand (2011)

Dirty Tricks

Why couldn't you be honest?
Why couldn't you be straight?
Why couldn't you just speak the truth?
The truth and nothing else
No I think I know your kind
I think I've met you before
You'll never be satisfied
You always wanna get more

You turn your sails to the wind
It's a sin to see it, it's a sin
To see you turn your sails to the wind

You always try to get around things
twisting like a snake
Just to rise a step or two
you'll do anything it takes
'Cause you wanna reach the top,
you wanna grow real strong
And I know what smell it is
that keeps you carrying me

You think you're hard as stone
You think I'm too blind to see
through all those dirty tricks
that you try to play on me
But I'm not afraid of you
I've learnt my lesson well
Try to walk over me again
and I'll send you down to hell

I'm gonna crack your ugly shell
If you try to fool me again
'Cause I'm not afraid of you
And I can tell how you turn those sails
It's a sin to see it, it's a sin,
to see you turn your sails to the wind
