lyrics

Never thought I could camouflage behind a word.
Never thought we could go unseen but still be heard.
Not gonna hurt you, not gonna do you harm.
Promise there won’t be cause for false alarm.

Never thought I could plough ahead quite like this.
Never thought he could find you such an accomplice.
Now that I’m waiting for the deal to seal
Guess I can’t tell you just how not to steal.

Chorus
Don’t let him know that you’re on to him.
For someone will find, you’re telling a lie.

Never thought you’d be the family’s blackest sheep
Never thought I would ever find you short of sleep.
Somebody’s waiting, give him what he needs.
Think of your children, all those mouths to feed.

I’m hiding under the brightest light.
I won’t get caught if I do it right.
She wasn’t s’posed to be there that night.

Chorus
