New Age Tricks

Oh consensus, publicists and your mother
 The explorers got it wrong, there ain't nothing to discover
 You can show me the door but I ain't leavin'
 I got new age tricks just beyond conceavin'
 Everybody's got a past you wanna share it like the present
 Don't figure in a cast that you're nothing but a peasant
 More pointless digressions and deathbed confessions
 Just new age tricks that old time obsession
 [?] a lot but she didn't know what she was in for
 'Cause the last radio didn't go like all the others before
 She wished she would disappear
 She wished she would go
 There's certain new age tricks that she didn't know
 So defenseless in the arms of a new mistress
 You could scarcely get the judge to read the pocket detect the witness
 Say he went crazy [?] right [?] sleep without you
 Of course, some new age trick he had hidden in his sleeve
 No one even asks why [?] flying
 No one's trying so why are you even applying
 Go all the way downtown
 Just to bail you out
 Those new age tricks couldn't even save you nowm
