Driving in a new car at last
Topped off with a tank full of gas
Tried not to abuse this new power
Rode around for nearly an hour
In my mirror blue lights approach fast
Chorus:
Perception Deception
Is receiving what is deceiving
Leads to incorrect perceiving
Believing the misleading
Taking the boat out for a ride
Nice day not a cloud in the sky
Quite a distance from the nearest land
As the boat bottoms out on the sand
Have to wait til the tide to turn high
Repeat
Chorus
I heard someone call my name
I turned to obtain who exclaimed
‘Twas just an audible hallucination
My ears echoed a false sensation
In the area, I was all that remained
Repeat Chorus
Dating a year, laughed at jokes ‘til we teared
Spilled our most private feelings over a beer
I had the feeling it was all so right
She lately saw it in a different light
I awoke with a Dear John, my worst fear
Repeat
Chorus
