Letra de ' Calcutta Auction ' de Michael Stanley

Oh, here you are, back on the street again
Even though you tried to stay away
No wonder that you look so crazy
The street's got ways to make you pay
Oh, why are they hiding everything
I'm seeking
Seeking everything I try and hide...

Oh no, there you go forgetting
To pull all the punches that need pulled
Sometimes, it's so much harder
To be the fool and not the fooled
Can't you see the way they
Pull the strings, and they watch the
Puppets dance
Oh meanwhile back at the ranch
What's going on...
I'd sure like to know...

Is this just like a Calcutta auction
Where the players get bought and sold
Oh ladies and gentlemen, lay your money down
Please don't believe all that you get told...

And it's just like a Calcutta auction
Where the players get bought and sold
Ladies and gentlemen, lay all your money down
Please don't believe all that you got told...

Ah, welcome to the Calcutta auction
Oh we've all been bought and sold
Ladies and gentlemen, all your chips are down
Oh you got to pay to play or else you fold...
