Strut

you are the temporary void in my life
you know what you don't want
i know what you don't like
we're together so conveniently
you take what you don't have
i take what you don't need
this is a race to the end
it started on a hill and ends
on a mountain
and when this game winds down
i often wonder whether we'll be more than friends
neck and neck i think i'm slightly ahead
you're keepin' score and i'll use it against you
keepin' time with all the words that were said
skip a step and i'll be slightly behind you
the is a likely story
this a secret affair
this is a part of what we need to stay in this game
i guess the question is how much can you take
i've got the time and the motivation
soon enough there'll be a lot more at stake
who's gonna be the first to fall to pieces
