Some People Lyrics - Singles - Ian Janis

Faithful is a lie 

Freedom's just a game 

somebody tacked onto 

your ball and chain 

Love is a drug 

You've been canonized 

Want to be a high priestess? 

then you got to sacrifice 

Somebody wants you 

to put out your eyes 

and drag you lower 

on the ladder than he is 

Reel you in slowly 

kingfish on a line 

Some people get a kick 

out of making you suffer 

You try the patience of the gods 

in the heat of a moment's pleasure 

and your sad retreat 

Mistake the moment for the song 

The actor for the role 

The neon light for day 

Somebody wants you 

to clip your wings 

Take shelter in the dark 

and the savage heat 

Mocks you with the burning sky 

and drops you in the ring 

Somebody gets a kick 

out of seeing you suffer 

He can't take pleasure 

He feeds on pain 

He ain't no gambler 

He just likes to play the game 

It's a measure of a man 

It's a candle in the rain 

to treasure the link 

and not the chain
