Listen to the sound bites of your neighbors
|
Through the paper thin walls
|
Making variations on their stories
|
Told with southern drawls
|
Look into the dustbin
|
Pick through rubbish
|
Finding clues to bare
|
Ponder their discussion
|
Noshed oh muffins
|
Torn up papers spared
|
If you value your own skin
|
Stop yourself from listening in
|
Lovelorn letters
|
Tarred and feathered
|
We are on display
|
Private lives
|
Have all been scattered
|
Mysteries gone away
|
Following traces for disgraces
|
You have crossed the line
|
Walking in shadows searching
|
Secret places it's a sign
|
You've got ears but so have I
|
Listen close as you walk by
|
Sticking your ears
|
Into affairs of others has a price
|
The stakes are higher than you think
|
It's time to roll the dice
|
Won't be so lucky this time around
|
You'll disappear not a trace to be found
|
