On The Table

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

On the table, the deal that kept the courts at arms length,

Stealing our thoughts with the force of their non-sequiturs - amateurs.

On the table, the view behind the legs of dancers,

Windows of chance there, lost on the trail of dissent - innocent.

Do re mi, innocent.

On the table, the deal between the thieves and exits,

Common and breathless, shrugging at what they've become - number one.

On the table, the steal that kept the courts at arms length,

Stealing our hearts with the force of the new evidence - innocent.

Do re mi, innocent.

Now the plain blondes are playing along with you (x2)

On the table, our hopes become a starting pistol,

Though we have missed all the minutes, we know what we've won.

Are we done?

On the table, the deal between the legs of mankind,

Walking a straight line, copping a plea as they went - innocent.

Do re mi, innocent.

Now the plain blondes are playing along with you (x2)
