lyrics

I’m just trying my best to tell you what I say is not what I mean
Was form, but out come the motions and free they do as please
So excuse the lies that follow, what I say is not what I mean

Flick of the wrist brings up a man I knew
Who used to never roll his sleeves, but shake them to prove

He lies sometimes, the man with the tense neck
Can’t let the living loose in fearful fright the girls with the eyesight will call him to refuse

No destructive genes swim about him to crack into the truth
He just goes on fogging feelings

And I'm just trying my best to tell you, what I say is not what I mean
So excuse the lies that follow, what I say is not what I mean

Ohh, I got something that I know you want to hear
Come a little bit closer now and I will whisper it in your ear
Ohh, with a one step and a two step and a three step and a four step and a five

Break of the wrist brings up a man I knew
And the man who used to shake his sleeves, I found out the name

There it lies, the grave of the tense man
His mantra carved in stone:
"If it’s all a struggle fought and not won, explain to me then:
Why is everybody trying to be tomorrow?
I’m still looking at today. Everybody trying to be tomorrow"

I’m just trying my best to tell you
What I say is not what I mean

Ohh, I got something that I know you want to hear
Come a little bit closer now and I will whisper it in your ear
It's easy, with a one step and a two step and a three step and a four

I’m just trying my best to tell you
What I say is not what I mean

Everybody, trying to be, tomorrow
I'm still looking at today

I’m just trying my best to tell you
What I say is not what I mean
