It goes...
Eyes the window to the world
Feelings of envy but no one must know
A face of lies no truth can it hide
Wallowing in wisdom
Lost in pride
Blood of a man shed for another
One struck down instead of a brother
Come on squaring up with that lazy eye
With your weapons drawn
Ready to slash my side
You take the law into your own hands
They will never be found
KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE
KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE
Keep the cards close to your chest
And deal with the hand that you have been dealt
Try so hard to remember
Yeah, I have been here once I'm sure
Turn the cards over
Face two kings and a four
There is a flip side to this double edged sword
One that you all soon will know
That if it come us in my peripheral view
Then go for the blow
Go for the Blow!!
You take the law into your own hands
They will never be found
KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE
KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE
I remember that night of our last fateful kiss
It was a kiss to your cheek instead of your lips
Where we walk cracks are starting to show in the floor
You only realise how important it is to feel
When you feel no more
We wear the same shoes
But don't take the same steps
We wear the same shoes
But don't take the same steps
