All your hangers on
  Watch with anxious eyes
  Watch your mouth to speak
  Words mystic and wise
    Can you explain away everything I know to be true?
  Will you flinch if I criticize anything about you?
  Anything about you
    Wash your nervous hands
  Speak and only lie
  Dismiss distances
  Between you and I
    Can you explain away everything that I know to be true?
  Will you flinch if I criticize anything about you?
  Anything about you
    Preacher's only son
  Wise man's only tie
  Scorned by anyone
  With an evil eye
