Come on man, you know that's not good for you. Laugh it off now but you'll be finished soon. Let me explain what everyone's already saying: you know I'm only looking out for you.

Say you're turning in man. I know better. Flaking out again? When are you getting it together? You wonder why you've got no one else to turn to: you know I'm only looking out for you.

And I'm not ready to look the other way. Take a look under the microscope, man. Try and ignore the disarray.

And I'm not ready to look the other way. Take a look under the microscope, man. Try and ignore the disarray.

Your mouth is running off now that you've seen a few things. You're talking down to me, but I can see that no one's listening. So you've found someone new to lap your shit up for a while? Honestly. Sooner or later they will find out what you're made of. Certainly. Then it's over.

Come on man, you know that's not good for you. Laugh it off now but you'll be finished soon. Let me explain what everyone's already saying: you know I'm only looking out for you

Say you're turning in man. I know better. Flaking out again? When are you getting it together? You wonder why you've got no one else to turn to: you know I'm only looking out for you.

And I'm not ready to look the other way. Take a look under the microscope, man. Try and ignore the disarray

Your mouth is running off now that you've seen a few things. You're talking down to me, but I can see that no one's listening. So you've found someone new to lap your shit up for a while? Honestly. Sooner or later they will find out what you're made of. Certainly. Then it's over.

And no, you can't count on me 'cause I can't count on you to be honest with me. How can I believe? How can I believe?

To be a friend means owning up and giving a part of yourself. And loyalty is staying true No matter what others might tell And now it's clear to me that you can't be any of these: and we don't have to hold our heads high anymore.

Whoa-o, oh oh Whoa-o, oh oh Whoa-o, oh oh Whoa-o, oh oh

This is 100% accurate. I have the Tarot Classics EP on vinyl and it came with a lyric sheet to I'm Not Ready, Miranda, Reprise, and Drinking Problem.
