Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down
Cm7Sometimes they will haF9ve you there because they Cm7need someone aroF9und
Cm7Perhaps you'll recF9eive invitationCm7s for teaF9
Cm7or perhaps you will lF9augh and you wiCm7ll make them all smF9ile
Cm7Or maybe you'll F9join them cause tCm7hey have to beF9
Cm7Perhaps you'll forgF9et that yoCm7u forgot for a whileF9
Cm7Birds of a fF9eather are Cm7flocking outsiF9de (4x)

like whippets they dance in a curly queue dance
of pulses and ringing and campfire chants
of ritual drumming although at first glance
you thought you could run but you won't take a chance
it's not an experience if they can't bring someone along
they hang on emotions they bottle inside
they peck at the ground and they strut out of stride
