| You’ll never have to hear the word «no»
|
| If you keep all your friends on the payroll
|
| The non-disclosure pages signed
|
| Your secret’s safe between those lines
|
| The scaffolding will cheer and console you
|
| But remember what your mother told you
|
| That good help is so hard to find
|
| For people that are so refined
|
| You’re trying to turn into the skid
|
| In this never-ending grid
|
| There’s a long, slow fade
|
| To a darkened stage
|
| And I hear you say
|
| «Only a fool gives it away»
|
| Only a fool would give
|
| Only a fool gives it away
|
| You said you wanna stake out your claim
|
| High above the city from where you came
|
| Don’t you know the air’s so thin?
|
| It starves the brain of oxygen
|
| I know it’s such a dangerous place
|
| For there are more ascensions than there is space
|
| Angels causing accidents
|
| The camera phones’ll document
|
| But if I start to levitate
|
| Pull me down with all your weight
|
| There’s a long, slow fade
|
| To a darkened stage
|
| And I hear you say
|
| «Only a fool gives it away»
|
| Only a fool would give
|
| Only a fool gives it away
|
| You’re trying to turn into the skid
|
| In this never-ending grid
|
| But you should know it’s not ideal
|
| All those hands upon the wheel
|
| There’s a long, slow fade
|
| To a darkened stage
|
| And I hear you say
|
| «Only a fool gives it away»
|
| There’s a long, slow fade
|
| To a darkened stage
|
| And I hear you say
|
| «Only a fool gives it away»
|
| Only a fool would give
|
| Only a fool would give
|
| Only a fool gives this away |
