Every so often
The pieces fall right into place
Gold is leaking from the faucet
And we can launder your mistake
But with everybody watching
We gotta not get carried away
For our recently departed
How 'bout we finish what we started
With a roundabout embrace
For the pieces that stay in their places
They don't seem to make it out of town
Without someone's accountin' on the run
On the take
You say, "How 'bout we break from tradition?"
I got a suspicion
You're gonna wanna talk about it
All hail the mighty Caesar's
Tax deductible campaign
Each conspirator draws nearer
And you know them all by name
They would stab you in the back
Before they'd say it to your face
But if the money all dries up
You just may meet your early grave
By way of
A roundabout embrace
For the pieces that stay in their places
They don't seem to make it out of town
Without someone's accounting on the run
On the take
You say, "How about we break from tradition?"
I got a suspicion
You're gonna wanna talk about it
When I turn around
To embrace
All the people who don't get to taste it
How do you fake it?
You walk around like nobody could ever get you down
Not today
No tomorrow
We're off to the races
Don't keep us waiting
Don't you know we talk about you when you're not around?
Donate today like nobody bought it
Skeletons in closets
You write it off like nobody caught it
IRS audit
A roundabout embrace
