Step up, tell us the name of your poison
and it all fell out of my hat
Got the sign in the window
sayin' take what you lack
I went to inquire just about how much pain
When you tell them you got the keys
called My Hope and Desire
Her tears were like needles
Her blue eye was scarlet,
She wore a tattoo that read,
who do you think is gonna believe it
When you tell them you got the keys
The prodigal son steals off in the night
He'd done it before, it worked out all right
Well, he could have done worse, though,
When you tell them you got the keys
You caught me and held me
Now I know you ain't little
And you had surprise on your side after all
I've never done that before
and I hope there ain't more
But just who you think is gonna believe it
When you tell them you got the key
but the song of the hours
I hope you can dig it, I know that you will
But please don't run and hide
And who do you think you'll
When you tell them you got the keys
you're gonna get to believe it
When you tell them you've got kids to raise
