Michael Penn - All That That Implies Lyrics

Filibust and hesitate

You say I procrastinate

And that my heart beat's second rate

To one you'll recognize



I know that you are drawn to it

So all I am is counterfeit

It pulls you so you must submit

Like ant to honeydew



What once I took as remedies

Are only chalk hypotheses

'Tis the season for a breeze

To blow them all away



To add insult to injury

The sum you gets means I agree

So you can call that empathy

And find someone else to blame



You say it's truth and nothing but

Baby, I sympathize



But all that that implies are lies

Surprise, surprise

All that that implies are lies

Surprise, surprise

They're lies, surprise, surprise



Take this heart and claim a stake

Shove it through so I can't wake

The cock will crow, the day will break

But I won't be around



And it may be the kindest cut

Word comes in edgewise



But all that that implies are lies

Surprise, surprise

All that that implies are lies

Surprise, surprise

They're lies, surprise, surprise
