In the smoke of this evening - it's getting hard to see the clear,
Ch ch ch choked on this feeling - that someone's thieving my death stares,
Oh and i picked a listener - someone waiting with eager eyes,
Button lipped or hisser - someone always wants to steal the surprise

Tongues get quiet and tied today (souls are fired to take away),
And souls get tired and dry today (tongues get tired and break away),
My thoughts on trial but not displayed (souls are fired to take away),
My arms are mine and i want to trade (tongues get tired and break away)

We're getting on the list - they're finally on the way hide out,
Put me on the list - we're finally on the way hide out,
Oh and i hear the whispers - pass it on along the line,
Button lipped or hisser - someone always wants to steal the surprise

Tongues get quiet and tied today (souls are fired to take away),
And souls get tired and dry today (tongues get tired and break away),
My thoughts on trial but not displayed (souls are fired to take away),

Stay and off i go - and i suppose that all i know - is we got it done and hey,
I'm on my own - with all i chose - and all i know - is we got it done and,
I'm no liar but watch my face - and i'm no liar but watch my face,
And i hope that i am just on my game - and i've decided i'm not to say

Tongues get quiet and tied today (souls are fired to take away),
And souls get tired and dry today (tongues get tired and break away),
My thoughts on trial but not displayed (souls are fired to take away),
My arms are mine and i want to trade (tongues get tired and break away)

Souls get quiet and tied today (souls are fired to take away),
And souls get tired and cry today (tongues get tired and break away),
My thoughts on trial but not displayed (souls are fired to take away),
My thoughts are quiet and tied this way (toungues get tired and break away).
