Jump In

Did you think evil would come knocking
On your shiny brass bell
Instead of sneaking through the crevices
That you hide well

Did you think it would be easy
If you played by heart
That you could always keep your hands clean
And your mind soft

If money be the measure then greed be king
If you have nothing to offer you can sell your skin
They say the rates are good this time of year so jump in
Jump in, jump in, let me see you swim

Did you think virtue was a statue carved in stone
Instead of something that can slip through your fingers
And make a dirty mess all over your floor

Did you think it would be breezy like a summer dress
That you could wiggle your way out of
When it suited you less

If money be the measure then greed be king
If you have nothing to offer you can sell your skin
They say the rates are good this time of year so jump in
Jump in, jump in, let me see you swim

Swim little girl oh the pond is deep
Or do you want to slip under water

Did you think you were safe
That you had nothing to lose
All you ever held dear
Your versions of the truth
All of your certainties
Your little dreams
Your own sense of morality
Your sanity
Is like an aching tooth I can pull it out for you

If money be the measure then greed be king
If you have nothing to offer you can sell your skin
They say the rates are good this time of year so jump in
Jump in, jump in, jump in
Let me see you swim

Swim little girl
The pond is deep
Better not slip under water
