Cheat Away

(album: Wide Awake Bored - 2000)

Say what you want about it
It isn't true
Just concerning me and you
Is it any wonder anyway
And nothing else to do

If you see it any other way
First you can go
Later you can fake it so why make it any harder
Just tell them
Everything you know
Is it wise to make amends
No surprise
You're among friends

So say goodbye
And find a place
You'll keep hidden somewhere
Cold and deep
Don't disappoint us all
And cheat away your time

Why does everyone ignore it
It won't go away
It'll get you through the day
Doesn't anybody know by now
There's never anything to say
Is it wise to make amends
No surprise
You're among friends

So say goodbye
And find a place
You'll keep hidden somewhere
Cold and deep
Don't disappoint us all
And weep for old times

Save a cry
You'll need it in a week
And every holiday retreat
Don't disappoint us all
And cheat away your time

I'm looking down the tunnel
But I can't see the light
