Oh I'm tired I'm tired of all this introspection
Each day being led by committee direction
Just seems somehow all of my friends found
the answers well good for them
I know it's all I can do to stop calling them
And oh you're tough your confidence is made by Teflon
I can't hide and I never seem to learn all my lessons
I can't look 'cos your eyes burn a hole
straight through me and that's unfair
I know because all of my secrets are spread round town
And if I start to tell you I'm not as clued up as I'd like
Just stop me
And if I let slip there's something I'm trying to hide
Just stop me
Because a lifestyle where I'm constantly living a lie
Has to be preferable to showing my hand
Oh I'm lost I'm lost inside a flippin’ vortex
Spiral down watching everyone else moving forwards
And yeah yeah you're a fragment of hope
but you're fake don't take offence
I know it's like ladders and snakes but there's only snakes
And if I start to tell you that maybe I don't feel like dancing
Don't stop me
If I let slip yeah maybe there's someone I fancy
Don't stop me
Because a lifestyle where I'm constantly showing my hand
Has to be preferable to living a lie
I went on trial at my instigation
Opened my files to investigation
Caught your eye in a conversation
And it might be love and I might be mistaken
I took advice and I made a statement
A party line of my own creation
You're a helping hand I'm appreciation
And it might be love and I might be mistaken
And if I start to tell you I'm not as clued up as I'd like
Don't stop me
And if I let slip there's something I'm trying to hide
Don't stop me
And if I tell you that maybe I don't feel like dancing
Don't stop me
If I let slip yeah maybe there's someone I fancy
Don't stop me
Because a lifestyle where I'm constantly showing my hand
Has to be preferable to living a lie
