Ask me no questions

Ask me no questions
And I'll tell you no lies
About the parts of inflexion
That I see in your eyes
Like shards of broken glass
That shatter the sunrise
When you ask it no questions
It tells you no lies

Oh truth is always at first light
The falsehoods are enemies, but friends of the night
And you ask to remember me
When you close your eyes
Well ask me no questions
And I'll tell you no lies

The devil's in the detail
The fish are in the sea
The control towers are watching us
In circumspect sanity
And there are no curtain poles
Can pull the wool over our eyes
So ask me no questions and I'll tell you
No lies
