Don't sell me anything
Your one time offer is so uncalled for
You call it peace of mind
Cause I can see your house from here
Now all the leaves have fallen, dear
I can see you're just a little privateer
As your confession draws more near

Oh, just make, please make this basic inference
And speak of me in the present tense
Oh cause I, I can see your ship from here
Now all the weather's so bright and clear
I can see you're just a little profiteer
As your confession draws more near
As your confession draws more near
As your confession draws more near
