The Frame

You're acting like you've got a nail in your shoe
Just can't get over what's gotten into you
Hey! Stop shouting and cover yourself
For when you look for a witness
There ain't nobody else
Cos I's a
Whole thing going down
Every time it'll turn you around
When on paper that it's finally found
That it's he who has the whole thing down
A little better
You take a motion and what do you do
Sit it out until you finally get through
But you can't tell someone who steals from themself
Of all the love that he's wasting
Trying to frame somebody else
Cos I's a
Whole thing going down
Every time it'll turn you around
And as wandering minstrels may roam
And as sure as ships must come home
A little wetter
If not a little better
A whole thing going down
Every time it'll turn you around
And on paper it is finally found
That he'll have the whole thing down
A little better
Let him just take your hand now
Got to pay the rent now
Gotta sit it out now
Well now
Hey! Stop shouting
Cover yourself
Look out
There's always somebody
