Touchy Situation

  • I'd like to find out what places she's been
    What's behind her locked door
    Or better yet know if I'm out or I'm in
    If her elevator still runs to the top floor

    Perhaps she would say, she was a student of hope
    And not dangling from the end of a disintegrating rope
    But I don't wish to spark off her outraged imagination
    I don't wish to get in any double-edge conversation

    It's a touchy situation
    Woah-oh-oh, yes
    It's a touchy situation
    Oh-oh-oh, yeah

    Someday I'll find out what I'm now afraid to ask
    And I'll discover what's there beneath the dark mask
    Perhaps she would say that I'm just deathly afraid
    To see her make the same mistake that I made

    And it might lead to some sweet revelation
    She knows I hate meaningless conversation

    It's a touchy situation
    Woah-oh-oh, yes
    It's a touchy situation
    Oh-oh-oh, yeah

    I say, "Are ya doin' well baby?"
    She says, "Go ask your father"
    I say, "Give me a yes, no or maybe"
    She says, "Why should I bother?"
    I say
    She says
    I say

    I'll ask you tomorrow, I'll ask you tomorrow
    If I could only break the code of her fears
    I could expose the secrets to the river of tears
    Rattle the senses til she's pouring forth tears
    Before she could exercise those powers of manipulation

    It's a touchy situation
    It's a touchy situation
    It's a touchy situation
    Woah-oh-oh
    It's a touchy situation
    Woah-oh-oh

    It's a touchy situation
    It's a touchy situation
    It's a touchy situation
    It's a touchy situation
