Lyrics

Can't Tell
a very rough sketch for a new song in development
© 2015 Starburst-Sahlen

It's a question of discretion
Moderation to the max
Without extreme behavior
My friend, dem's are the facts
Cause a world devoid of fun
Isn't any way to live
And a church mouse and a preacher
Have a nip before they give

(chorus)
They can't tell I've been drinking
They don't even have a clue
I'm a master of deception
Stuffing grins in IOU's
All the bottles behind trap doors
Camouflaged inside the night
I'm a functioning magician
Hiding truth in broad daylight

You want me to be sober
As a church mouse or a judge
But you're guzzling down the liquor
Just like everybody does
If you told your guardian angel
She would slap upside your face
Make hypocrisy a crime
Make you feel your own disgrace

(chorus)
They can't tell I've been drinking
They don't even have a clue
I'm a master of deception
Stuffing grins in IOU's
All the bottles behind trap doors
Camouflaged inside the night
I'm a functioning magician
Hiding truth in broad daylight

(instrumental break)

(chorus)
They can't tell I've been drinking
They don't even have a clue
I'm a master of deception
Stuffing grins in IOU's
All the bottles behind trap doors
Camouflaged inside the night
I'm a functioning magician
Hiding truth in broad daylight
