[Verse 1]
You take one step out a big black Cadillac
A bowler hat and a pinstripe pair of slacks
He's got a cane but he's got no limp
He does it for the image, oh, it's for the image

"Knife"'s what they call him back home
He's got a reputation, what he condones
A practice common men consider quite unethical
But I see it as questionable, I see a similarity, oh, oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2]
She came running down old stairs, no sounds
Just breathing and heirloom dependency
(She said) "Where have you gone?
I've grown from you, shone from you"
Stockpiled the thoughts and memories
And what it means to me

[Pre-Chorus]
You've been talking that, talking that all night
Everybody sing along and scream out

[Chorus]
La-da-da, tonight he'll be found out
La-da-da, tonight we'll shine a light and find your motivation
And every one of your friends who's involved
If you knew word of this you're guilty by association
Ironic thing is that you can't do much unless you know law
And it's crazy to believe in this

[Verse 3]
Darling, I, I hate to apologize
You know, you know, you know we do it Midwest style
Ten steps and stay awake, five steps, so far away
The sound and the silence, a music box and melodies

So calm the West-side down
Calm the ocean and the underground
(I'm a jack inside a box and now you've got me)
You wound me up and let me out and then you shot me down

[Bridge]
I'm a jack inside a box and now you've got me
You wound me up and let me out and then you shot me down
I'm a jack inside a box and now you've got me
You wound me up and let me ou-

(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
I'm a jack inside a box and now you've got me
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
You wound me up and let me out and then you shot me down
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
To the leg or to the face, you know it doesn't matter
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
To the leg or to the face, you know it doesn't matter
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
To the leg or to the face, you know it doesn't matter
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
To the leg or to the, to the, to the, wake up to the-

[Chorus]
La-da-da, tonight he'll be found out
La-da-da, tonight we'll shine a light and find your motivation
And every one of your friends who's involved

If you knew word of this you're guilty by association
Ironic thing is that you can't do much unless you know law
And it's crazy, so don't believe, don't believe

La-da-da, tonight he'll be found out
La-da-da, tonight we'll shine a light and find your motivation
And every one of your friends who's involved

If you knew word of this you're guilty by association
Ironic thing is that you can't do much unless you know law
And it's crazy to believe in this
La-da-da, tonight we'll be found out
La-da-da, tonight they'll shine a light and find our motivation
And every one of our friends who's involved
