Flattery

Sip your tea and wink and smile
Say won't you stay a little while?
And all along I feel I should be leaving

Your stare up at that ticking clock
And at me like you're taking stock
It's not your hour but worse
After drinking

Flattery has got you everywhere with me

You throw your words just like a cat
I tell you "Don't you give me that"
You take it anyway cause I'm addicted

I know there's no one I can blame
You don't even speak my name
And underneath your roof I feel evicted

Flattery has got you everywhere with me

You say that you despise a flea
And it's as strong like me you see
And why do I feel so much like a slave?

Now men will die and towns will fall
And through the smoke out of it all
Will gleam the words that made me out so grave

Flattery has got you everywhere with me
Flattery
