On the workman’s bench
There was the words of a fool
He bent them and he shaped them
Into a tower of jewels

Someone tell me something that I don’t know

He said I never have lied
He said I never have failed
But he was hitching a ride
As he was pitching a sale

Someone tell me something that I don’t know
Someone tell me something that I don’t know

It seems you’re not what you say
Let’s say I’m not what I seem

Well we let him keep talking
And that was more than he knew
Til he was backed up in the corner
With the words dripping on his shoes

Someone tell me something that I don’t know
Someone tell me something that I don’t know
