[Verse 1] And in the end I knew It would be you The way you held yourself, That was a clue And there were more, Oh yes, There were a few [Prechorus 1] The air was thick, a rich Exotic stew You saw me there you thought You knew me, too A practiced smile, an offered Word of thanks You left your coat behind And walked right pa-a-ast! [Chorus] One glance at my face And you’d pass me right by But the suits that I’ve sewn Helped me follow the signs I noticed you there From my seat to your right The table was set I was ready to dine [Verse 2] The corners of your mouth Were pulled too tight I knew right then that something Wasn’t right A button lost, the twins That didn’t match A detail strange, the past Came circling back [Prechorus 2] The gossip heard was offered As a course The latest girl, so sad It was the worst You feigned surprise, concern Your eyes agleam I traced the threads you left Behind the sce-e-enes! [Chorus] There in my sight A pattern of crime The orchestra loud I was barely in time I played you, alright All the cards that you dealt On the menu tonight Is your absolute guilt [Bridge] A stitcher knows the fabric Where it’s thin What happened next — Oh where, Do I begin? The structure of your story Held no more The sirens sound—you thought You knew the sco-o-ore! [Climactic Chorus] A “Crash!” and a “Bang!” The cries of surprise Your secrets laid bare All the tweed covered lies You wore a disguise You were cold to the bone Now prison awaits — You will die there aloneeeee … [Quiet Outro] And in the end I knew It would be you The way you held yourself, That was a clue And there were more, Oh yes, There were a few
