In the Details Lyrics

Come through from another one he's looking at you

Never wanna ask why well neither should you

Way back way back got their knives in you

You could suffocate and never have to run another through

You can disappear and they will still be praying for you

It's a masquerade, hypocrites say what they won't do

What they won't do, what they won't do, what they won't do

Way back, way back, tell you what you shouldn't do

Ignore the details, just make sure you listen, follow through

And if you ask why, man they've got a place for you

Back seat, balcony, let me keep my eye on you

My eyes are on you, my eyes are on you, my eyes are on you

Just make sure you ask though

You won't like the answers that you get, no

They don't want that love beneath the steeple

They don't want the words of all the people

Make sure you ask though

You won't like the answers that you get, no

The details are what drive you from the steeple

So follow me and live among the people, the people

High horse, got a real sense of duty 'round you

Never wanna ask why 'cause maybe it's true

Way back, way back, they gave the knives to you

Let you use 'em for all the little things you need to do

As long as the gates kept

And the gays left

And the straights deaf

Go in the maze left

You don't have time for it?

Well you'd lie for it

And you'd die for it

Stab with knives for it

There's too much ego

Where did the love go

I'm switching time zones

Saw with my eyes closed

You get to talk though

Nobody else though

Just a one way stained-glass window

Make sure you ask though

You won't like the answers that you get, no

They don't want that love beneath the steeple

They don't want the words of all the people

Make sure you ask though

You won't like the answers that you get, no

The details are what drive you from the steeple

So follow me and live among the people, the people
