Mistaken, forgotten and deferred
Everyone I meet I leave them shaken but not stirred
Lose my money on an even chance
Heartbroken by each new romance
Not faking – mistaken.
Mistaken, forgotten and behind
If I had to say I loved you honey
I’d make it sound unkind
So take the fruit while I take the rind
I’m tied in white ropes with the other blind
Not faking. Hand shaking, mistaken
I’m like Pacamac Jack
Talking to a cat on the track
He said ‘there’s too much to choose
Not much to lose
And no money back
Your chance comes quick as a flash
And then high hope hijack’
He didn’t know the train was coming till it ran across his back
Mistaken, forgotten and deferred
Everyone I meet I leave them shaken but not stirred
Lose my money on an even chance
Heart over heels by the second dance
Not faking – mistaken.
There’s fighting in the city
Thunder’s on the march
When it comes to a head I’ll be in bed
Even my dogs won’t bark
Footprints chasing footprints
There’s been a circling of sharks
I ain’t seen so much rain down here
Since Noah built an ark
Mistaken, still waiting for a sign
If I was a politician I think I’d have to resign
So if you hear me answer to my name
Throw me off that gravy train
Hate to see your chance to gain forsaken
Who’s faking?
Mistaken. Just mistaken
