First you turn and walk and then you run
Then you find yourself against the sun
You take a look around and you decide
You don't like it, so you try to hide
You're a loaded gun!
And I will lay my guard down straight on your table
And I will listen hard for your tales
Aesop's fables on and out
So you come back to the safety of your home
See your clearly now, your cover's blown
Oh, I should have known!
And I will lay my cards out straight
On your table
And I will listen hard for your tales
Aesop's fables on and out
And I will lay my cards out straight
On your table
And I would listen hard for your tale
Aesop's fables on and out
I would tell myself on a card
If I was able
And we could pull the circled star
If the table's on and out
