Laswell, Greg - Next Time Lyrics

A beautiful elaborate ruse
More he gained, the more he would lose
And I know I was in the front row
Like to think I've it all figured out
From man with all of the clout
He would shout
It's easy to suss out:

Next time one shows you
Who they are, believe them
My friend, next time one shows you
Who they are, believe them

My God, how I love to inflate
Things I say with my delivery
And I know I was in the front row
I believe I have it all figured out
From the man with all of the clout around town
It's easy to suss out:

Next time one shows you
Who they are, believe them
My friend, next time one shows you
Who they are, believe them

And in the end, his face was pulled tight and I would lie and say alright
And in the end, his face was pulled tight and I would lie and say alright

(I believe I have it all figured out)
(From the man with all of the clout around town)
(It's easy to suss out:)

Next time one shows you
Who they are, believe them
(Oh-oh-oh...)
My friend, next time one shows you
Who they are, believe them
(Oh-oh-oh...)

And in the end, his face was pulled tight and I would lie and say alright
And in the end, his face was pulled tight and I would lie and say alright

(Oh-oh-oh...)
