lyrics

do your eyes advise
or do lies surmise this reprise

only immune to the temptation
'cause you can't feel that sensation

well did you see it?
neither did I
did you hear the fear
or did you see their eyes?

do you never stop looking down?
did you hear a word I said?
oh dear don't you understand
that we can never wed?

is your head filled with lead?
you think of nothing but your bed
and your eyes are red
just like I always said
(2x)

even if it's true that you've a different view
I think that there's a few things I could name for you to work it out
yeah we do not do lies, we do not do lies over
but we sympathize, realize in due time that everybody dies

yeah there's a few more words to say
but it's unlikely they'll be said today
in fact, I doubt it if you'll hear them before your hair fades to grey

but if the fountain of youth is living in you
then why is time of the essence too?
there are a few who know that you
did the best that you could do

and i'm pained to refrain, though I know it has no gain
why don't you go, I know
you are so
you are so
you are so
you are so

SHALLOW
