From the recording Cicada Rhythm

Lyrics

why do you tease?
why don't you run?
half of the game is just to turn
this big ol’ ball around

are you a toy?
are you my friend?
i run so fast again

i am a judge of character
through me you have to pass
if you are pure and i am sure
i bestow upon you a kiss

but whom should i trust?
i'm just a ward
my day to day happiness flawed
when my momma says
my momma says

i'm sorry charlene
i already told you
love you forever deep down in my heart
yes, four is more but three will do

i am your velvet troubadour
companion beyond compare
i'll always be true and protect you
from the strangers outside the door

but whom should i trust?
i'm just a ward
my day to day happiness flawed
when my momma says
my momma says

i'm sorry charlene
i already told you
love you forever deep down in my heart
yes, four is more but three will do
four is more but three will do
