Lyrics
Domino Theory
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.
Well basically it's not what it seems
It's too late to argue with me
You think you figured out this machine
Well your way off, you're way off
If I rolled up my sleeves
You should stand back, just stand back
You'll take it if it's coming from me
You take everything from everybody
You're falling down like a stack of dominoes
Your secrete was safe, but now everybody knows
Your demeanor was cleaner but now clean just ain't enough
This unexpected, misdirected you, you don't even know that you're stuck
So I can be just one of two things
What's good for you might not be for me
As superficial as it might seem
I got my mind made up, it's made up
Time won't work you tried
Hes' out of town and he ain't coming back
Your provisions made you go blind
What then are you looking at
It could be charity or not I don't know
Let me off of this suggestion before you implode
Based on the pretexts of your reflexes about my complaint
You need to more than reconsider so the bigger picture never goes blank
I dont care or not if you agree
It's way to late to argue with me
Details that you're trying to see
You're all talk you're all talk
I appreciate you trying
But you're way off you're way off
I feel like I've been shopping antiques
It's the same shit, it still stinks
You're falling down like a stack of dominoes
You're secrete was safe, but now everyone knows
Your demeanor was cleaner but now clean just ain't enough
This unexpected, misdirected you, you don't even know that you're stuck
On a sidewalk
That runs into a corner
Better turn around quick
Don't say i didn't warn you
Soon or late it was bound to happen faster than you'd think
You need to more than reconsider so the bigger picture never goes blank
