Tell It to Me Straight

Birds fly off the handle Every morning without a warning They told me a different story Than every other, than every other man Flitter, just flatter Doesn't point to the matter here at hand We're circlin', we're circlin' 'Cause you're the one who's supposed to land Tell it to me straight We don't want to wait for you to settle down Tell it to me straight We shouldn't have to wait for you to come around Go on, pull out the Parisian rug From under our feet Just because of your heat Pull tight the curtain around those cages Like we couldn't see You give no dignity Flitter, just flatter Doesn't point to the matter here at hand We're circlin', we're circlin' 'Cause you're the one who's supposed to land Tell it to me straight We don't want to wait for you to settle down Tell it to me straight We shouldn't have to wait for you to come around Tell it to me straight We don't want to wait for you to settle down Tell it to me straight We can't afford to wait for you to come around No You can't stop the sun from shining Truth will always, always show Fools think they can keep on runnin' But in the end we all will know You can't stop the sun from shining Truth will always, always show Fools think they can keep on runnin' But in the end we all will know You can't stop the sun from shining Truth will always, always show Fools think they can keep on runnin' But in the end we all will know You can't stop the sun from shining Truth will always, always show Fools think they can keep on runnin' But in the end we all will know So tell it to me straight We don't want to wait for you to settle down Tell it to me straight We can't afford to wait for you to come around
