Lyrics

Silver Tongue

So smooth like a velvet Elvis with your
Words like honey from your tongue
You could sell anything to anyone your
Snake oil is hard to overcome

Big red lips
Pretty white lies
And I love to see
When you get your silver tongue-tied

You fire sugar coated bullets
Moving slowly sinking into my brain
Fast as money from an open wallet
A slow burn till it’s just too late

Big red lips
Pretty white lies
And I love to see
When you get your silver tongue-tied

Your words are posing like a question ready
For the camera to flash
So cool, patient as a cancer
Waiting for the cigarette to ash

Big red lips
Pretty white lies
And I love to see
When you get your silver tongue tied
