You'll set it down
Forfeit the tall tale, I always will
The future has fallen short
To set it down
Will make sense and lose
Capsize the tall tale but always fail
All in the name of trust
Words speak and choose
You'll set it down
Will make sense and lose
You'll set it down
Forfeit the tall tale, I always will
This body shut down in Bordeaux
When the blood goes thin, he's given in
The host had his mouth sewn shut
He listens in the dark
Words speak and choose
You know when he falls apart
You'll set it down
To set it down
You can spare us the formal toast
Capsize the tall tale but always fail
And the clouds fall from the mirrored walls
You'll set it down
Words speak and choose
And the crime scene revisits me
Words speak and choose
To set it down
Will make sense and lose
And on the shores of gold coast
On the balcony I search for sleep
From this day on, goes on and on
You'll set it down
When the sun sets north
Will make sense and lose
The drunken anecdotes
You'll set it down
To the records turn, I'll never learn
To set it down
