Falling for you and your scheme
I bet you think that I'm your fool
But let me tell ya just one thing
You might not believe but I'm no fool
When I look to the west I see skies of gold
When I look to the east I see dark and dreary
Full of red
As if hints of what's ahead for you boy
As if hints of what's ahead, for you
Calling up all your old friends from high school
Trying to sell them on your bullshit
Your bullshit
They all still talk to you anyway
Because they all worry about you
About you
When I look to you, I see a scared little boy
When I look to her, I see the same old trickster
Born to be a spinster
If she even makes it that far
If she even makes it that far
I've been hitchhiking down that same old road
Let me pick you up and give you a ride
I've got a thing or two to tell you
Might just give you someplace better to go
When I look to the west I see skies of gold
When I look to the east I see dark and dreary
Full of red
As if hints of what's ahead for you boy
As if hints of what's ahead, for you
