One Thing Leads to Another

The deception with tact
Just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face
Which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white

But when one little cross leaves you shocked
Grit your teeth
You run for cover, so discreet
Why don't they do what they say
Say what you mean?

One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listened too long, but then
One thing leads to another

The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see
Comes from living close to your fears
If this is up, then I'm up
But you're running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls

And when one little bump leaves you shocked
Miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat
Why don't they do what they say
Say what they mean?

One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listened too long, but then
One thing leads to another
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

One thing, one, one thing
Leads to another
(Another)

Then it's easy to believe
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
I know you've been lying to me
It's getting rough, off the cuff
I've got to say enough's enough
Bigger the harder he falls

But when the wrong anecdote is like a bolt in the throat
You run for cover in the heat
Why don't they do what they say
Say what they mean?

One thing leads to another
You tell me something wrong
I know I listened too long, but then
One thing leads to another
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

One thing, one, one thing
Leads to another
(Another)

One thing, one, one thing
Leads to another
(Another)

One thing, one, one thing
Leads to another
(Another)
One thing, one, one thing
Leads to another
(Another)
