I SUSPECT YOU WON"T FEEL A THING
words & music: bill mallonee admin BMI c. 2019

Well, what's it gonna take to set the record straight
when the place is long since run out of answers?
Are you happy with your bread?
Did ja get a good seat at the circus?
and Truth? Well, she's become a shadow dancer

There was a small booth off the midway
and a man speaking with some passion
using words that had long since fallen out of fashion
and there were those who bought the tickets
and those who crashed the gate
i remember all the those blue lights flashing

Why does he sing?
Whatever does he mean?
Pascal stitchin' words in his over coat dreams
When it all goes up in smoke
when it flat-lines on the screen
I suspect you won't feel a thing...

Now why all this sadness in each & everyone?
At least we've our drugs. At least we've got our guns.
Yeah, what's it gonna take to set the record straight
when truth is a shadow dancer
and when the place has long since run out of answers

Why does he sing?
Whatever does he mean?
Pascal stitchin' words in his over coat dreams
When it all goes up in smoke
when it flat-lines on the screen
I suspect you won't feel a thing...

And yes the world is brutish and the worlg is mean
but I suspect you won't feel a thing...
