Great Deceivers Lyrics
"Hope Machine/Another Life"

Calculate the comfort going back would yield you
Weigh all other options
Now that the evening starts the yearning
Look how fast you're learning to glide across the surface
Don't dip below
Rough go
I can tell you're nervous
Don't count on me
The hope machine's all out of service
And the warranty is worthless
And the finer points are skirted
And the small print's poorly worded
And the reward is the burden
In another life, you'd never think twice about licking the spark that runs down the wire
Look out now
Loose cannon for hire
The signal is sent
Cut me some slack
The floodlights flash, then fade to black
In another life, you're not afraid to bare your teeth and lick the blade
In another life
