You would never talk to me straight
You would always give out
And you were letting it swap around, oh
Killing like a pout
But I, I was your mouth
Just giving in, giving it
As if these were my words that
Spill on the ground

But you are silver tongued, you are
Playing orpheus
Yes, you are silver tongued
(Playing orpheus!)
You are silver tongued, you are
Playing orpheus
Yes, you are silver tongued
(Playing orpheus!)

You accuse me of clowning
Playing at my leisure
I was thinking I would always stand up
You just wanted pleasure
But you, you were my rock
Just crumbling, crumbling
Now my fooling has turned our love to dust

But you are silver tongued, you are
Playing orpheus
Yes, you are silver tongued
(Playing orpheus!)
You are silver tongued, you are
Playing orpheus
Yes, you are silver tongued
(Playing orpheus!)

Give me stone for blood, I would've killed for that.
But you, a born talker, a gift hawker
Just tripped into the sun.

But you are silver tongued, you are
Playing orpheus
Yes, you are silver tongued
(Playing orpheus!)
You are silver tongued, you are
Playing orpheus
Yes, you are silver tongued
(Playing orpheus!)

But you are silver tongued, you are
Playing orpheus
Yes, you are silver tongued
(Playing orpheus!)
You are silver tongued, you are
Playing orpheus
Yes, you are silver tongued
(Playing orpheus!)
