Generate meaning
1
I'm writing the words to this song with a poison pen
2
I'm turing straw into gold and then back again
3
When you used to be my friend
4
Before you turned your back on me in the end
5
I'm building a box made of wood from a tree that I grew
6
I'm sewing the lining in silk that I spun just for you
7
And I lay you to rest
8
I pour flowers on your chest, on your chest
9
And it's happened again
10
Pull a fast one on me
11
And I've got to be dumb
12
If it's always in fun
13
I'm digging a hole with my hands six feet in the ground
14
I'm chiseling this epitaph on a stone that I found
15
Meet this friend indeed
16
May he rest in peace and get on with it
17
I'm learning to live with the guilt of remembering
18
I'm willing to try to forgive and forget this thing
19
That's gone on too long
20
You were right, I was wrong, so wrong
21
And it's happened again
22
Pull a fast one on me
23
And I've got to be dumb
24
If it's always in fun
25
But enough's enough
26
Hold my breath while I pass
27
While I pass you by
28
And it's happened again
29
Pull a fast one on me
30
You can undo what you've done
31
And it's always in fun
32
If it happens again
33
Pull a fast one on me
34
Then I've got to be dumb
35
And in more ways in one
36
And it's always in fun
37
And in more ways in one
38
(repeat to fade)
