lyrics

CHESS MATCH

never cared for the holidays
only went for the creme brulee
and now he's hiding out back behind the pines
waiting for delivery

being the man is a dream, you see
follow the rules and they'll set you free
so keep the dresses buried in the closet seams
and wait for delivery

hiding places, ill got faces
chromosomes
lucky breaks for lucky fakes
oh, not to blame, they're all the same

and honored daughters for their father's
photographs
lucky breaks for lucky backs
oh, not so fast, a chess match

never cared for the polished sounds
its where the good go to settle down
and now they're in the center drowning out those around
by paying for delivery

being the man is the dream, you see
follow the rules and you'll fall asleep
so keep on wearing those dresses in the local scene
and forget about delivery

hiding places, ill got faces
chromosomes
lucky breaks for lucky fakes
oh, not to blame, they're all the same

and honored daughters for their father's
photographs
lucky breaks for lucky backs
oh, not so fast, a chess match
