I ran on wet roads into the night Abandoned by shelters where I used to hide I was a pipe dream defender in delusive glow Galvanized by the truth in a single blow All of a sudden I lost the grip When boundless love did a moonlight flit All of a sudden I got it straight When the lie exposes it's relentless shade You swallowed me like a little fly And you spat me out again You swallowed me like a little fly And you spat me out Words are portentous if you just believe There will be no harm unless it comes to grief Token gestures mistaken for love Ringing in the sellout from a view from above All of a sudden It hardened my heart When things came together that were miles apart All of a sudden I locked the door I found out what you were looking for You swallowed me like a little fly And you spat me out again You swallowed me like a little fly And you spat me out I gave you my word And you threw it back You threw it back I gave you my trust And you swallowed it You swallowed it All of a sudden you were out of the game Free to seek another fool to frame All of a sudden I'm free again Free to choose with whom I am
