Snake Oil (Feat. Reva Devito)

Take his word if you want it That burnt-out bird song I’m not the one who’s gonna talk you round Knows how to sing to your instincts That charm and snake oil The little high before he brings you down Doesn’t matter how many words I waste Banging on like a trebuchet Pretty clear there’s been a change of plan Whatever you say Just let the sun set over the slipway As the last boat comes down Always knew we were close to an ending But I just couldn’t work it out I know you think he’s some kind of real thing The kind of truth you wanna find But if you just needed someone pretending I could have told you better lies Don’t say you believe it Don’t bet it all on the big smile The presentation You’re not the only one to turn your head He’s got you caught at the turnstile With no invitation Watching the dust cloud vanish up ahead Doesn’t matter how many words I waste Banging on like a trebuchet Pretty clear there’s been a change of plan Whatever you say Just let the sun set over the slipway As the last boat comes down Always knew we were close to an ending But I just couldn’t work it out I know you think he’s some kind of real thing The kind of truth you wanna find But if you just needed someone pretending I could have told you better lies Don’t say you believe it Don’t say you believe it Doesn’t matter how many words I waste Head banging like a trebuchet Pretty clear there’s been a change of plan Whatever you say Just let the sun set over the slipway As the last boat comes down Always knew we were close to an ending But I just couldn’t work it out I know you think he’s some kind of real thing The kind of truth you wanna find But if you just needed someone pretending I could have told you I could have told you Just let the sun set over the slipway As the last boat comes down Always knew we were close to an ending But I just couldn’t work it out I know you think he’s some kind of real thing The kind of truth you wanna find But if you just needed someone pretending I could have told you better lies Don’t say you believe it Don’t say you believe it
