They wanted someone to run it

Someone who'd call 'em only when it's over and done with

But then they start asking questions, giving specific direction

I'm sensing there's just a slight disconnection

Oh yeah, this won't end well for me

I'm sorry, but I can't accept your offer sight unseen

They know, but they'll never tell you so

In the dark is in control, so it goes

We talked for hours and hours, and I was still confused

They gave me seven days, then took back all but two

I think there's something between the lines, deep in disguise

Punishment dressed up as a prize

Oh yeah, this won't end well for me

I'm sorry, but I'm buying what you're selling no receipt

They know, but they'll never tell you so

In the dark is in control, now you know

You're not listening, you're not listening to me

You're not listening, you're not listening to me

I'll make a final appeal to claim the past was real

Are you for the mission?

You've got your hand on the wheel, but no one's checking the rearview

Are we lacking vision?

Oh yeah, this won't end well for me

I'm sorry, but I can't accept your offer sight unseen

They know, but they'll never tell you so (this won't end well for me)

In the dark is in control, so it goes (this won't end well for me)
