Lyrics
Doubt Camped out in my living room
Eating time with a plastic spoon
Faith came in and began to shout
?How could you let all my secrets out!?
Depression had some beautiful dreams
Now she just listens to angers screams
As innocence talks to strangers she meets
Danger waits for her down the street
Jealousy is eating dinner with obsession
Soon they?ll be going dancing with aggression
Way down town at a club called the transgression
And you?ll see, how all these qualities?.
Are on a slow start to nowhere
Blame pulls up in his shiny new car
Said he hadn?t been very far
Guilt just stood there silently
As terror slammed the door violently
Trust just ran out the kitchen door
Jumped over Greed who laid on the floor
Tripped over fear who just crawled in
But landed on worry who smelled just like gin
Devotion must be on some long vacation
Confidence took a trip with Inspiration
There still time to call up Imagination
And we?ll see how all these qualities?.
Are on a slow start to nowhere!
Too Many Cooks, Too much to lose
Too many feet ya?ll, and not enough shoes
You better pack it up, before they stack em up
And all those cards on the table are shown
You better take back all that stuff from your head
And try to make it your own.
Solo
Devotion must be on some long vacation
Confidence took a trip with Inspiration
There still time to call up Imagination
And we?ll see how all these qualities?.
Are on a slow start to nowhere
Doubt Camped out in my living room
Eating time with a plastic spoon
Faith came in and began to shout
?How could you let all my secrets out!?
Depression had some beautiful dreams
Now she just listens to angers screams
As innocence talks to strangers she meets
Danger waits for her down the street
Jealousy is eating dinner with obsession
Soon they?ll be going dancing with aggression
Way down town at a club called the transgression
And you?ll see, how all these qualities?.
