Dumb Move

he made one dumb move
she was into dumb things too

an hour of drink and speaking in tongues
a moment to think, draw the breath to your lungs
sometimes they'd sing and sometimes they'd talk
but this time they run when they should've walked

he made one dumb move
she was into dumb things too

playing with fire and switch off the lights
believing in coffee and jesus christ
wielding religion like a basis for truce
one more weak excuse
he said "let's wait"
she said "what's the use?"

he made one dumb move
she was into dumb things too

they're slipping and sliding through lies and deceit
too stupid to win
too smart for defeat

one dumb move
