Adam Green Lyrics
"Pleasantries"

What's in between all those pleasantries
How do you think most times?
I've been searching for some passion for my actions
Now you know that it's full prize
You know how, you know why
You're not the bedroom type
Night be fading, just what are you celebrating
Old fashion bring your short fuse drying

Whatever this is, the pleasure's all his
Endlessly trailing my dreams
No need to pretend, I want you instead
To counsel her excellency

Can't be the first to say you're the worst
Surely there's one or two
I'd care more if you'd act as though you like me
And if you really do

Living a lie, to the song you can't hide
The paintings are still in the tube
I needed to fall, you need not crawl
I punish myself with you

What was between all those pleasantries
What did you hope you'd find?
I was waiting for the chance you never gave me
I'm still working on my lines.
