Settling

Where have I seen that familiar disguise before

It’s always the same and so is the score

Load my dice so that I’ll win

Hit me again while I just look away

I plead the fifth

I need a lift

To give a gift

A little string

A simple thing

A guillotine in green

They’re editing you out

They’re leaving no doubt

Wake the babes and shout

Now where have I seen that look in your eyes before

There’s someone to blame, got something in store

I’m feeling thick

You’re leaving with

Me adrift

No big thing

A little fling

A diamond ring

Now let us sing

They’re settling you down

And taking your house

Now what to do about it
