lyrics

I once knew a guy who made all the right statements
to his boss, to his coworkers, and friends
and he seemed so at ease in his zeitgeist of perfection
it was rare that someone wouldn't be drawn in

he knew when to talk and he knew when to end
he carried himself like a man of means
he never had to be the best and he never had to win
but he always left me thinking that he could

I once knew a guy who a made all the right statements
he kept his propositions nice and trim
and you never could accuse him of being half human or invented
he wore if often, he wore it easy, he wore it well

he knew when to talk and he knew when to end
he carried himself like man of means
he never had to be the best and he never had to win
but he always left me thinking he that he could

all night long he laid awake in bed
thinking of the things that he had said
all night long he laid awake in bed
thinking of the things that he would say

that day
that day

he knew when to talk and he knew when to end
he carried himself like man of means
he never had to be the best and he never had to win
but he always left me thinking he that he would

all the right statements
all the right statements
