Takes One To Know One Lyrics

It takes one to know one to learn in the first place

Another stave into the whiskey

Imparting notes of guilt and hearsay

The label says "the spirit has come"

It takes just one to run a business for business' sake

Apathy at the market rate

The bottom line is the reason for living, for breathing, and even to die

You can take the truth from the shelf or just leave it to spoil out

The stained glass basks this room in a smoky rose-colored hue

It takes just one to know how it's done

And cigarettes burn better in the basement of a church

Where God can't find you to judge your mortal soul

But it takes one to know one

Oh, doesn't it

takes one to know one

It takes one to know one, but one just is not enough

When you're up against pride and liturgy

Buried beneath the rubble of history

you'll find love's used circumstantially

You can take the truth from the shelf or just leave it to spoil out

The stained glass basks this room in a smoky rose-colored hue

It takes just one to know how it's done

And cigarettes burn better in the basement of a church

Where God can't find you to judge your mortal soul

But it takes one to know one

Oh, doesn't it

takes one to know one

You can take the truth from the shelf or just leave it to spoil out

The stained glass basks this room in a smoky rose-colored hue

It takes just one to know how it's done

And cigarettes burn better in the basement of a church

Where God can't find you to judge your mortal soul

But it takes one to know one

Oh, doesn't it

takes one to know one
