Art of Surprise Lyrics by Home Groan

Astrodome

1999

I've partly agreed
You'll take the wrap
Now just a slap on the back
Look at the mess
You've drawn me in
We were the next of kin
[Pre-Chorus]
You're trying to be a nice guy
But look out for the hairy eye
[Chorus]
It's the art of surprise
The art of a coward
Is it his timing
When he takes
To run, run, run?
The art of a coward
It goes lost
When his pain
Takes a run, run, run
It's the art of surprise
You gotta be in the ace
When you make your stand
Put the ace in your hand
And when you reach the point
Of no return
Put out the fire that burns
[Pre-Chorus]
You're trying to be a nice guy
But look out for the hairy eye
[Chorus]
The art of surprise
The art of a coward
Is it his timing
When he takes
To run, run, run?
The art of a coward
It goes lost
When his pain
Takes a run, run, run
The art of a coward
Is it his timing
When he takes
To run, run, run?
The art of a coward
It goes lost
When his pain
Takes a run, run, run
It's the art of surprise
And when you leave
You better shut the door!
Or you'll be asking for more!
[Chorus]
The art of a coward
Is it his timing
When he takes
To run, run, run?
The art of a coward
It goes lost
When his pain
Takes a run, run, run
The art of a coward
Is it his timing
When he takes
To run, run, run?
The art of a coward
It goes lost
When his pain
Takes a run, run, run
It's the art of surprise
It's the art of surprise
(Oh, it's my favorite art form...)
(That is my favorite art form...)
