One Thing Leads to Another

The deception with tact
Just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face
Which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross leads to shots
Grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet

Why don't they
Do what you say, say what you mean
Oh, baby
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long but then
One thing leads to another

The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see
Comes from living close to your fears
If this is up, and I'm up, but your running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump leads to shock
Miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat

Why don't they
Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long but then
One thing leads to another

Yeah yeah yeah

One thing, one one thing leads to another, another

Then it's easy to believe
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
I know you've been lying to me
It's getting rough
Off the cuff
I've got to say enough's enough
Bigger the harder he falls
But when the wrong antidote is like a bulge on the throat
You run for cover in the heat

Why don't they
Do what the say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You tell me something wrong
I know I listen too long
But then
One thing leads to another

Yeah yeah

One thing, one one thing leads to another (repeat till end)
