To The Third Degree

Watch your mouth drop open
Did you have something to say?
I wouldn't waste my time with words
That never seem to matter anyway

'Cause I'm still standing
And I'm on top of the world
I watch you work your line with a smile
And never say a word

Do you think I'm easy?
I think you want it this way
So you can be the victim
When it becomes your role to play

I'm just a perfect stranger
That you know by name
Sleeping with one eye open
Let's you play your game

Will it make a difference?
I never wanted this way
I walked an awkward line for awhile
And now there's hell to pay

I think you're playing with fire
You think you're playing for keeps
And will it seem surprising
When what you sow is what you reap?

I'm just a perfect stranger
That you know by name
Sleeping with one eye open
Let's you play your game

You're living your life in anger
Try to take your claim
But now that my trust is broken
Watch me walk away
