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 oh baby

One thing leads to another

You tell 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 tell me something wrong I know I listen too long but then

One thing leads to another - yeah yeah yeah

One thing (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 bulge on 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 tell me something wrong I know I listen too long but then

One thing leads to another - yeah yeah

One thing (one thing) leads to another

One thing (one thing) leads to another
