Ian Janis Some People
Faithful is a lie Freedom's just a game somebody tacked onto your ball and chain Love is a drug You've been canonized Want to be a high priestess? then you got to sacrifice Somebody wants you to put out your eyes and drag you lower on the ladder than he is Reel you in slowly kingfish on a line Some people get a kick out of making you suffer You try the patience of the gods in the heat of a moment's pleasure and your sad retreat Mistake the moment for the song The actor for the role The neon light for day Somebody wants you to clip your wings Take shelter in the dark and the savage heat Mocks you with the burning sky and drops you in the ring Somebody gets a kick out of seeing you suffer He can't take pleasure He feeds on pain He ain't no gambler He just likes to play the game It's a measure of a man It's a candle in the rain to treasure the link and not the chain
