Straw Man Lyrics - Yellow Second

falling, failing now 

they mass here at mid day 

such a quandary how 

I was with them so long 

again, I was wrong 

you're kneeling there 

with furtive eyes on me 

and you say 

turn your head, face the jury 

turn again, face your peers 

we have gathered to listen 

to what we want to hear 

bemused, confused so 

much ado about nothing 

abuse ensues, though 

when I reply, you offer 

you try, you falter 

a spool of thread, 

a needle won't help me 

is your faith so precarious 

that you attack me and not my questions?
