Rule Bound

would you believe me if i said that i was lying

could you concieve me to be misled

you are careful with me as i am careless

when i hand the key to you i've still got too many keys

and when i look at you in the blue summer shade

i can almost see my own face in the chain of reaction

that's when you lead me down to the sea

under the water the shadows wait patiently

'there are signs here' you whisper in my ear

but i won't listen to you till your words are clear

for you are naked tonight underneath your pose

you are hopeless and divine and everybody knows

that's where you leave me down by the sea

under the water green shadows wait patiently

say it's not true dear what i begin to fear

we are helpless to defy and engineer

for if i look at you in the blue summer shade

i can almost find my own way to the sauce of all of joy

but i am rule bound and still under instruction

so i will murder my pride and linger on my sin

that's where you left me down by the sea

under the water the shadows wait patiently
