one thing leads to another

the deception with tact

just what are you trying to say

you've got a blank face

which irritates

communicate

pull out your party piece

you see dimensions in two

state your case with black or white

but when one little cross

leads to shots

grit your teeth

you run for cover so discreet

why don't they

do what they say

say what you mean

one thing leads to another

you told me something wrong

i know i listen too long

but then one thing leads to another

the impression that you sell

passes in and out like a scent

but the long face that you see

comes from living close to your fears

if this is up

then i'm up

but you're running out of sight

you've seen your name on the walls

and when one little bump

leads to shock miss a beat

you run for cover and there's heat

why don't they

do what they say

say what they mean

one thing leads to another

you told me something wrong

i know i listen too long

but then one thing leads to another

one thing leads to another

then it's easy to believe

somebody's been lying to me

but when the wrong word

goes in the right ear

i know you've been lying to me

it's getting rough

off the cuff

i've got to say enough's enough

bigger the harder

he falls

but when the wrong antidote

is like a bone in the throat

you run for cover in the heat

why don't they

do what they say

say what they mean

one thing leads to another

you told me something wrong

i know i listen too long

but then one thing leads to another

one thing leads to another
