the midnight strangers - the conman lyrics

[verse 1]
there once was a conman
with a passion for his work
he made you do some stupid things
with a smile hidin’ his smirk
he said he had the secret to happiness
but all he had was brains
and an ability to see what you really really need
and then take it away ’til you begged and pleaded
oh he’ll take what you have
[verse 2]
it was nine in the morning
and there was wind blowing from the east
i walked up to the conman
and looked into the mouth of the beast
he gave me the same talk that he gave everyone
he promised to turn abliss

[pre+chorus]
and with a sympathetic grin to make you feel no sin
and a monologue that went a little like this

[chorus]
oh, oh, it’s easier if you don’t know
it’s better if i just show you the way another day
i would tell you everything if i could
i don’t know if i should give you this secret

[post+chorus]
ooh, but you’ll have to give me everything
ooh, i need everything that you’ve ever had

[verse 3]
i wish i could tell you that i, i wasn’t swayed
i kept my wits and took my hits
and it was the conman who got played
but what happened was less than ideal
’cause when i told him how i feel about his actions
[pre+chorus]
his tactics and distractions
he smiled with glee and said, listen to me

[chorus]
oh, oh, it’s easier if you don’t know
it’s better if i just show you the way another day
i would tell you everything if i could
i don’t know if i should give you this secret

[post+chorus]
ooh, but you’ll have to give me everything
ooh, i need everything that you’ve ever had

[bridge]
i couldn’t resist him
couldn’t turn and go
i, i gave him my money
i just had to know
i asked, what are your secrets?
what can you tell?
what are the words to the secret spell?
and he said, listen close and listen well
there is no simple trick to play
there is no answer waiting for you
in the brain of a stranger
[verse 4]
i said, i think i’ve been ripped off
and i want my money back
and the more i thought about it
i realized he was onto somethin’ that i needed so bad

[refrain]
i saw the conman some days later
searchin’ for another victim
and when he finally found one
i could’ve sworn he said

[chorus]
oh, oh, it’s easier if you don’t know
it’s better if i just show you the way another day
i would tell you everything if i could
i don’t know if i should give you this secret

[post+chorus]
ooh, but you’ll have to give me everything
ooh, i need everything that you ever had
ooh, he needs everything you’ve ever had
