  • Do you see it coming
    Talking what you want
    To conceive what you got
    Convince everyone
    Silence speaks
    Puts me at ease
    Think I don't see how it's done

    The script and the scenes
    I forget to remember
    A need to pretend
    Gatta breathe to the end
    The silence speaks
    How could it be that way

    Get out of your mind

    Your force and words and lies to disguise
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    It won't work and we can't hide
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    I thought I knew but I can't decide
    It's a trap, it's a trap

    Give in to some
    Watching and yearning
    But just see what you've done
    It's gone all wrong
    At zero degrees
    It got to be that way
    You see it come
    And now it feels like
    You won't be what you was

    Your force and words and lies to disguise
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    It won't work and we can't hide it
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    I thought I knew but I can't decide it
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    You don't love and we don't find it
    It's a trap, it's a trap

    Your force and words are lies to disguise
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    It won't work and we can't hide it
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    I thought I knew but I can't decide it
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    You don't love and we don't find it
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    I thought I knew but I can't decide it
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap
    We don't work and we don't f ind it
    It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap Writer/s: JAMES DOVIAK, JOHNNY MARR
