Yin & Yang

There's two sides to every story
and then there's two sides to you
one thinks it knows just what it wants
the other doesn't know what to do
stand up and then sit down
run towards then run away
you fall down then get back up
try to speak but you're blown away (hey hey hey)

You told me that you had it all figured out
but your calculations just weren't right
you think you're standin' in the middle of the day
but it's twelve-o-clock at night
you say that you're innocent
when you know you're guilty as sin
you keep sayin you're gonna kick them all out
but you keep bringing more back in

Two sides like Yin & Yang
heads and tales and yes and no
two sides like night and day
purple rain and yellow snow
you'd like to stay and try to explain
but there's nothing left to say
I'm not the kind to stand and complain
so I'll just sit back and play, (hey hey hey)

You told me that you knew how to swim
then you sank just like a rock
said that they took your drivers license
but I see you speeding round the block
well it's too late to go to church
'cause they just stopped ringin' the bell
so please don't be prayin' in my ear
'cause you're prayin' loud as hell (o,well well)

The kids have all left and moved away
but you still think they're at home
and you party like you're in a crowd
but you're layin' there home alone
so don't ask me what I think it is
cause I'm as messed up as you
and anyway I'd probably lie
'cause we never did speak the truth

Two sides like Yin & Yang
heads and tales and yes and no
two sides like fire and ice
yellow rain and purple snow
you tell me that it's goodbye
then you call me on the phone
to say that your commin' over
but honey I'm not alone

two sides to every story...
