lyrics

In a flash of smoke you only hope evaporates up into the ether,
They act like murder clues staring back at you like puzzle pieces that you can't put together,
But you try it anyway, hoping something's gonna change.

Are you tiptoeing around the edge of the snake pit?
You thought that it looked like fun to fall in
The card up your sleeve, the one you're hiding from me
Is slipping through the hole in your pocket

There's a book on the shelf with the velvet cover but the authors name I just can't remember
A story of you & me, some other galaxy,
Transcending to another dimension,
You said you'd call me back but I'm not holding my breath.

Are you floating inside of your minds little space ship?
The uninvited guests are invading
The card up your sleeve, the one you're hiding from me
Is slipping through the Hole In Your Pocket

A clumsy kiss that ends in tears like grazing teeth along a bottles edge,
Are you diving off the deep end, hoping that you won't end up sinking?

Or are you tiptoeing around the edge of the snake pit?
You thought that it looked like fun to fall in
The card up your sleeve, the one you're hiding from me
Is slipping through the Hole In Your Pocket.
