Common Hoax

Daisy, speak to the recorder
I refuse to forget
Smooth television reporter
Helping the fiction spread
One step lower down the stairwell
Is this brief worth the wreck
Crudely countered by discussion
Wrenching the final check

Soak in the storm we made
Terminal charade
A vision I had
Where you chose to stay
Messenger, you speak
From the cherry oak
What are lovers then
But a common hoax?
Soak in the storm we made
Terminal charade
A vision I had
Where you chose to stay
Monitor, you hear
From the cherry oak
What are lovers then
But a common hoax?

Lobby so surveyed
Hint of no virtue
It will kill my soul..
It will kill yours too

Daisy, speak to the recorder
I refuse to forget
Smooth television reporter
Helping the fiction spread
If the hour is predictive
What will happen to you?
When the picture is defective
It all comes into view
