Ooh
No, uh

Thigh deep, wading laps
Caught in cycles, let 'em wane and wax
She's tryna meet me where I'm at
I can't expect it all to fall in my lap

They bent my arms back, really, I'm no different
And with a small cast, I'm in no condition
To draw suspicion
No one knows, so I keep waiting

Through the fog, caught a glance

In the place of his head was a marionette's
Whose work? It could be anyone's guess
Brief applause, final dance
