Master Manipulator by Johnny de Courcy Lyrics

[Verse]
If you see me on the street
Don't be afraid to grab my hand
'Cause I am just a gentleman
In a strange and foreign land

In a land where nothing matters
Baby, all you do is stare
I am a master manipulator
An old-fashioned sinner

There's a portrait of the angels
In blood upon my door
But all these things don't bother me
The way they did before

'Cause the room is getting smaller
And I start to lose my head
I am a master manipulator
An old-fashioned sinner
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, 'cause I know what I want
And I want it so bad
It's not my fuckin' funeral
But the best I've ever had

[Chorus]
If you can't do something good
Oh, then we got a problem
Yeah, we got a problem

'Cause if you can't do something good
Oh, then we got a problem
Yeah, we got a problem now
Yeah, we got a problem now

[Verse]
I hear the cursin' through the ceilin'
It's right outside my door
But all these things don't bother me
The way they did before

The feeling's gettin' closer
Now I start to hold my breath
I am a master manipulator
An old-fashioned sinner
Oh, there's people all around me
And they're always asking why
I tell myself I'm someone else
And I'll do it 'til I die

The walls are closin' in now
And I start to lose my mind
I am a master manipulator
An old-fashioned sinner

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, 'cause I know what I want
And I want it so bad
It's not my fuckin' funeral
But the best I've ever had

[Chorus]
So if you can't do something good
Oh, then we got a problem
Yeah, we got a problem

'Cause if you can't do something good
Oh, then we got a problem
Yeah, we got a problem now
Yes, we've got a problem now
[Outro]
And if you start to lose your mind
Don't worry, I've seen it a thousand times
These things aren't so easily defined
Well I think I'd love you one more time

And in the corners you will find
Another way to realize
The open frailty of your kind
I think I've crossed the feelin' line
