Paul Kitchen: Sign Of The Times

Sign Of The Times

There's a brook outside my window
Seems to run so peacefully
But if you look you'll see the turbulence
If you drink you'll taste disease

Out of control the body language
Failing to cover up the face
Under the skin the spots are changing
The path of a snake will win the race, every time

I can't read the sign of the times
There's too much goin' on between the lines
And I can't see where I'm goin...
Don't want to try

You're like a magnet to deception
More like a dog attracting fleas
You scratch and itch and leave a trail of lies
Still you think you're fooling me

So you took some things for granted
And you stepped upon some toes
But when you chase the truth you get dirty
How ya keep coming up smelling like a rose

I can't read the sign of the times
There's too much goin' on between the lines
And I can't see where I'm goin...
Don't want to try

Help me see where I'm goin'
Help me see where I'm goin'

I can't read the sign of the times.
