Red Herring

This thing is like the loch ness monster

People say it's somewhere down there

Know you'd like to believe it 'cause it's such a good story

But so far you have not seen hide nor hair

You and I are like a red, red herring, baby

We go nowhere at all

You and I are like a ten pin bowling

Ten pin bowling, you just set us up watch us fall

You and I are like a weak cup of coffee

Weak cup of coffee on a winter's day

You and I are like a free lunch

There's no such thing but we eat it up anyway, yeah

So I talked to my sister she said, "Run some red lights

'Cause I've been watching you sit here bargain with yourself all day

And I don't know who you think you're fooling

'Cause you've never been the type to do right

And you've always been a sucker for a moving train"

You and I are like a red, red herring, baby

We go nowhere at all

You and I are like a weeble's wobble

Weeble's wobble but they never fall

You and I are like a weak cup of coffee

Weak cup of coffee on a winter's day

You and I are like a free lunch

No such thing but we eat it up anyway

So I guess you think you're hot shit

'Cause the way you made me shake and shiver

And I could do that by myself

Going twenty in the breakdown lane

And I could take that back

Or I could take it to the river

But I'll give it all to you

'Cause I know that you're just the same

And you and I are like a red, red herring, baby

We go nowhere at all

You and I are like a weeble's wobble

Weeble's wobble but they never fall

You and I are like a weak cup of coffee

Weak cup of coffee on a winter's day

You and I are like a free lunch

No such thing but we eat it up anyway
