No Diablo Lyrics

And if you see it layin' round, it's alright to take it
It's nothin at all, and if nobody saw, who knew?
But if the circumstance is right and your mistaken
I can't determine off hand, but I'd say its quite a few
There's a serious lack of forgettable facts and who makes them
If the word makes print there's no reason to think at all
Don't be sensitive or reluctant to confession
It's obvious who's the victim half the time
Never speak too soon when an idea needs to level
That declarations can be made won't make them true
And if you don't make room in your backpack for the devil
You'll have the weight of the world lifted off your shoulders too

Now I don't mean to be misleading
And I would hate to complicate your point of view
But if you really just presume that's my impression now of you
Well there's a lot of ground to cover, and even more than we need to talk through.

Now if you haven't gone too far by now don't worry
If you're stuck in the crowd and you've been thinking out loud, I'd stop
Now I'm not suggesting here that you should hurry
But if everyone's out for theirs, can there be enough?
Don't be flustered by your falls while they're occurring
They won't be factored in to the final score at all
So if morality calls you up and leaves a message
It's always better advice, so I would listen to it more than twice

Now I don't mean to be misleading,
And I would hate to complicate your point of view
I'm only trying to pass on words you need to hear
The explanations up to you
It's not enough to just show up with only words to say
There's more to this that I just can't explain
And if you really just presume that's my impression now of you,
Well there's a lot of ground to cover,
even more than we need to talk through.
