Chicken Bones by Greg Hancock

If you know a way out of this place - I'll take it!
I've been looking under unturned stones.
You've got that look on your face - no-one could fake it!
And I've been picking up dark undertones...

I used to think that the best about us
Ws the total lack of fuss.
But now there's no trust,
and I'd rather be alone.
I can't do anything right
So just to avoid a fight
I'm looking under unturned stones
Worried about dark undertones
Trying to read your mind is like trying to read CHICKEN BONES!

If you've got something on your mind.. just say it!
I've been listening first before opening doors.
If you've got a new move in the game... just play it!
I don't want to pussyfoot around any more.

I used to say that we could never be
Like those other couples that you see.
But you and me...
that's just the way we've grown.
It's cold and dark outside
But Hey! I need a place to hide.
I'm looking under unturned stones
Worried about dark undertones
Listening first before opening doors
Tippy-tippy-tippy toe across the floor.
Trying to read your mind
Trying to pick the right time
Trying to read your mind is like trying to read CHICKEN BONES!
