On The Table Lyrics

 

On The Table - A.C. Newman

Written by:Carl Newman

 

On the table

 

The deal that kept the courts at arm's length

Stealing our thoughts with the force of their non sequiturs

 

Amateurs

 

On the table

 

The view behind the legs of dancers

 

Windows of chance there lost on the trail of dissent

 

Innocent

 

Do re mi innocent

 

On the table

 

The deal between the thieves and exits

 

Common and breathless shrugging at what they've become

 

Number one

 

On the table

 

The steal that kept the courts at arm's length

Stealing our hearts with the force of the new evidence

 

Innocent

 

Do re mi innocent

 

Ah ah ah ah

 

Ah ah ah ah

 

Now the plain blondes are playing along with you

 

Now the plain blondes are playing along with you

 

With you

 

On the table

Our hopes become a starting pistol

 

Though we have missed all the minutes we know what we've won

 

Are we done

 

On the table

 

The deal between the legs of mankind

 

Walking a straight line copping a plea as they went

 

Innocent

 

Do re mi innocent

 

Ah ah ah ah

 

Ah ah ah ah

 

Now the plain blondes are playing along with you

 

Now the plain blondes are playing along with you

 

On the table

 

On the table

 

On the table

 

 

On the table
