Straightface - Son Volt

Call out your castaway

You’ll wake up to carry in the new day

Send 'em out from the castle on high

Talk is talk, solely in your mind

Claim-stake the final words

What goes around is knocking at your front door

Straightface, you’re wrapped in

High-flown for hire

Make believe you breathe out

Every one you take

The viewpoints slam

Mates just look around to know you’re wicked

Proclaimed from protected stances

Who, wallowing, wear what you’ve fallen into

You demonize what you don’t understand

Darts surround your heavy, heavy hand

Straightface, you’re wrapped in

High-flown for hire

Make believe you breathe out

Every one you take

Better keep the bags packed

Keep your nose clean

Check the shelf life and date

Reticent gonna soon realize

Showgirls magazines define your minds eye

You’re a rough draft you’re old news

You’re a grifter with a funny little hat

Straightface, you’re wrapped in

High-flown for hire

Make believe you breathe out

Every one you take
