Straight Song

[Verse 1]
This is a straight song
It's made for you
It shouldn't take long
Cuz that's not what I want to do
And all I wanted
Well, it keeps on coming true
Why shouldn't you?

You've got to die a little
If you really want to go
It's got to hurt a little
If you really want to know
So let's lie a little
Together you and me
And be as true as true can be

[Chorus]
Cuz he who wants to know
Must surely hold
His body
And he who holds
The door
Will surely know
A showdown

[Verse 2]
I'd feel the world for you
If you weren't doing it for me
I'd steal the girl in you
If you weren't letting her go free
I would pretend
I would pretend to be a friend
If that was what we had to be

I'll cross the threshold
Into the lair
I'll pat the lion on its head
I won't despair
I won't despair
Though claws are sharp and they might tear
I will be bringing it back to you
You know I will

[Chorus]
He who wants to know
Must surely hold
His body
As he who holds
The door
Will surely know
A showdown

[Chorus 2]
As he who holds
The door
Will surely know
A showdown

[Verse 3]
I've never been there
I want to go
But I don't dance
So do you want to stay after the show?
For now I'll stand here
With my back against the wall
Watching everything you do
