<TT>Oh, this takes me back, while time moves on<BR>
we went over the line<BR>

you didn't catch all the signs</TT>

<TT>Well, everyone says not to go this way<BR>
but I'll be just fine<BR>
we made our bed, now we'll sleep in it<BR>
we crossed over the line</TT>

<TT>It makes no difference<BR>
what they say about<BR>
our fling...this thing<BR>
It serves no purpose<BR>
other than to do<BR>
mind games<BR>
do this gig, to the funk<BR>

<I> verse 1:</I>
</TD>
<TD align=left valign=top>
<TT> We try and make a joke<BR>
for laughter to ease the pain<BR>
but sometimes we just choke<BR>
when trying is in vain</TT>
<P>
<TT> We play our little game<BR>
making up the rules<BR>
We try to make a name<BR>
but really we're just fools</TT>
</TD></TR><TR>
<TD align=left valign=top>
<I>verse 2:</I></TD>
<TD align=left valign=top>
<TT> Our enemies we defile<BR>
acting so uncouth<BR>
Our weapon is denial<BR>
When we can't face the truth</TT>
<P>
<TT> We tell our little lies<BR>
but don't want the same<BR>
we'll severe all our ties<BR>
but won't take the blame</TT>
</TD></TR><TR>
<TD align=left valign=top>
<I>chorus:</I></TD>
<TD align=left valign=top>
<TT> so we hide behind<BR>
a veil of tears<BR>
as we cover up<BR>
our trail of fears</TT>
<P>
<TT> We made believe<BR>
for all those years<BR>
that we could lift<BR>
our veil of tears</TT>
<P>
<I> (solo over verse)</I>
</TD></TR><TR>
<TD align=left valign=top>
<I>verse 3:</I></TD>
<TD align=left valign=top>
<TT> The world seems so unjust<BR>
It's always dog eat dog<BR>
We must find our way to adjust<BR>
Make our way through the fog</TT>
<P>
<I>(chorus)</I>
<P>
<TT>we could lift<BR>
our veil of tears<BR>
veil of tears</TT>
