  • I can see flowers wilting in the sun.
    Dellusions of grandour
    can overcome anyone.
    You're perched so neatly on the fence.
    You're keeping your cards all to yourself.

    Show your hand now (x4)
    I'm jumping off the fence,
    Into your corner

    Turn your face to the sunshine.
    And all the shadows will fall behind.
    Look to your future.
    Leave your troubles to one side.
    Your walked the plank
    and made it through:
    The chances a million to two point two.
    Whatever.

    Show your hand now (x4)
    I'm jumping off the fence
    Into your corner

    Bah Bah Bah!

    Show your hand now (x4)
    I'm jumping off the fence
    Into your corner

    Show your hand now (x4)
    I'm placing all my bets,
    On to one number.

    Show your hand now (x4)
    Jumping off the fence
    I'm jumping off the fence (x3)
    Into your corner. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
