lyrics

My first sin was beaten into me by outside men
But that sin left latent and brewing may do me in
Oh now I save my sleep for obvious reasons
All my doubts have accrued a fresh new view
But if I stake my claim for all the wrong reasons
I may fade to a phase where I'm left riddled with blame but
Oh, you won't care, you won't care, you won't care...

Cause your mouth doesn't taste good when you
Say what you mean
It's cold sincerity
And your lip gets a new twitch when you
Say what you mean and you
Mean what you say to me

You'd stand around for a long time trying to make
Some people wither away
You'd take a break for a long time just to prove
You have something to say
You'd stand around for a long time trying to make
Some people wither away
You'd take a break for a long time just to prove
You have something to say

Calm and cold, Calm and cold
What took you so long?
When you sharpen your front teeth and you
Praise the empty seats

Just stay calm, Just stay calm and cold

Cause your mouth doesn't taste good when you
Say what you mean
It's cold sincerity
And your lip gets a new twitch when you
Say what you mean and you
Mean what you say to me
