lyrics

adjacent, listening for tossing loose
payments validate no dangling noose
and lie to yourself, keep lying to yourself
by your severed style decked out
i can tell you don't even know

voodoo nouveau riche
mystery is all i know
of the monetaries needed to meet the madam

but you can tell them i was the best
at nearly everything
i was the best at nearly every, every, everything

caught so off guard
i'm not unruly, i strictly promise
with me it's all platonic common sense

chasing you can be such a ruse
chasing you can be a lot of fun
either way i'm all out of ideas
let's see now if it's worth the run

chasing you can be such a ruse
catching you could be my worst regret
but if i don't catch you now
i might catch myself keeping secrets

chivalrous pursuits in my embryonic youth
prescribed monogrammed lockets
and violet bouquets
i could hold your hand,
as we amble i can denounce deciduous disguises
surprises

caught so off guard
i heard it from the grapevine
you can't fall in love
all platonic
not like that

chasing you can be such a ruse
chasing you can be a lot of fun
either way i'm all out of ideas
let's see now if it's worth the run

chasing you can be such a ruse
catching you could be my worst regret
but if i don't catch you now
i might catch myself keeping em

secrets and diamonds can't help me now
gotta find a ploy and just follow it down
down, down, down
la la la la

secrets and secrets and gems abound
freudian follies finally did me in
and so i might as well just drown

chasing you can be such a ruse
chasing you can be such a ruse

chasing you can be such a ruse
chasing you can be a lot of fun
either way i'm all out of ideas
let's see now if it's worth the run

chasing you can be such a ruse
catching you could be my worst regret
but if i don't catch you now
i might catch myself keeping em

secrets and diamonds can't help me now
i might catch myself
secrets and diamonds can't help me now
i might catch myself
secrets and diamonds can't help me now
i might catch myself
secrets and diamonds can't help me now
i might catch myself
