Sardines Lyrics

I hear the others counting

But they won't find me

No, I'm off and running

I'm off and running, yeah

And though the pressure's mounting

I won't let it blind me

And it's not for nothing

No, it's not for nothing

It's easy to fool them

It's easy to run

It's easy to hide away

Don't tell anyone

It's a game. A very special game

You only play it once, and then you don't again

You simple hide away, and hope that no one sees

Oh, won't you look away

Yes, look away from me

Sardines

Sardines

I hear the others laughing

They're off to find me

They're off and running

They're off and running, yeah

I know the fun they're having

I won't let 'em mind me

Or it's all for nothing

No, it's all for nothing

Such skillful illusion

Such willful deceit

Is running and hiding

And careful retreat

It's a game. A very special game

You only play it once, and then you don't again

You simple hide away, and hope that no one sees

Oh, won't you look away

Yes, look away from me

Sardines

Sardines

It's easy to fool them

It's easy to run

It's easy to hide away

Don't tell anyone

It's easy to fool them

It's easy to run

It's easy to hide away

Don't tell anyone

It's a game. A very special game

You only play it once, and then you don't again

You simple hide away, and hope that no one sees

Oh, won't you look away

Please look away from me
