each time you say you love me greater than what I reciprocate
each time I think my debt is greater than what I can repay

you got me again
you spin your silk, you force a grin,
you make me feel loved but I'm a fly
you've got me pinned 

each time you say you love me greater than what I reciprocate,
each time I think my debt is greater than what I can repay.
On my two wings, you're circling the door
so I can pick a fight but you'll always come back for more.

You got me again
You spin your silk, you force a grin
before I see it again, I better throw the towel in
go to the land of promises.

I wanna go there to the place where they're never double-faced, never fake
don't tell me lies to put me in my place.
I wanna go to the pretty place where they never, ever hate, never chase
won't make a pie just to throw it in my face.

you got me again
you raise the roof
you turn me in 
can't talk to you
you'll let me down again

you spin your silk
you force a grin.
you make me feel needed when I'm not.

(You think I don't hear you sigh when I sing,
you say my goodbyes don't mean anything.
But I can see the suns turn their heads to each other
with the light of their eyes.)

The Land of Promises

so I'll pray on my bed
I'll feel my spirit leave me
speak to me, I'm ready

wasn't sure what to do
head to toe in pink lace and stood up next to you
just pretty girls
I wore that dream upon me
"mom, I'm getting married" 

'cause I could spend my whole life trying to understand what you say

maybe I'll believe?

I'm not sure what to do.
You don't believe in science, think everyone is lying.
So I'll pray on my bed.

Maybe I'll Believe?

with nothing left to do I wipe out all the rooms
you all can be so crude, your parties like a zoo, like nothing left to lose.

so I'm gonna fake my way through the day
hope that no one catches my funny face
and as all the passing fads fall away
they still got my number

like they say you can pray the gay away
I weep for a little change.

I watch you watch me, what's that face mean 
cover your eyes, erase me 

fake my way through the day
hope that no one catches my dumb brain
and as all the mind games fall away
you still got my number, and I could always call you

...

and if you're listening now, love, if you could know me like I do
what difference would it make love?
try to repay your wasted time

'cause now even if I open my eyes 
I still miss your smile.
