Flinty

It doesn’t go away, when you’re trying not to stay

It doesn’t go away no matter the days

When trying to forget, push it down with cigarettes or better yet

Burn it up into a fire, but none of it goes

’cause I know what I know, and I know what I shouldn’t

It’s a loathsome truth between us now

Send it up in smoke, the embers all aglow

But it doesn’t go away, this aching old pain

Ooo-oo-ooooooo

No, it doesn’t, when you’re trying

No it doesn’t go away, no matter the days

'cause I know what I know, and I know what I shouldn’t

It’s a loathsome truth between us now

If you’re on the level...

If you’re on the level...

Are you?

If you’re on the level, on the level, you can talk to me (talk to me)

If you’re on the level, I’m gonna level with you anyway

Are you… flinty (strong)

To hang my secrets on?

If you’re on the level, on the level, you can talk to me (talk to me)

If you’re on the level, I’m gonna level with you anyway

Are you… flinty (strong)

To hang my secrets on?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Come back, dummy! get it, get home

Come back, dummy! never leave me alone

Bring some sweetness, sugar, your drug

Gimme sickness, summa summa your love

’cause it doesn’t go away, even trying out the strays

No it doesn’t go away no matter the days

Send it up in smoke, the embers even show oh oh oh

But it doesn’t go away this aching old pain
