right, so tomorrow morning i have the opportunity to record some vocals for an updated version of my old song “treachery.” i’ve been messing around with it, and i’m thinking of maybe inverting some of the lyrics; switching some words around. mainly, i guess, just for contrast with the original version.
the original lyrics for the break section go:
you turned me out – i turned you in.
you would’ve turned me off – but i turned you on.
you were so bad – i was no good.
isn’t it funny how thinks turn out?
and here’s how i’m thinking of doing it:
i turned you out – you turned me in.
i would’ve turned you off – but you turned me on.
i was so bad – you were no good.
isn’t it funny how things work out?

i lost my way, took me so long to find it again.
& i lost some time, but i won’t let it bring me down. (won’t let it bring me down)
treachery – that’s what your love means to me.
treachery – even a fool like you sees. (it’s treachery)
i took the bait, and you slowly reeled me in. (reeled me in!)
i saw the gun, but i didn’t know who it was for. (didn’t know who it was for)
treachery – even the best men can’t see.
treachery – that’s what your love means to me.
you turned me out – i turned you in.
you would’ve turned me off – but i turned you on.
you were so bad – i was no good.
isn’t it funny how things turn out?
treachery – that’s what your love means to me.
treachery – the end of the century.
treachery – that’s what your love means to me.
treachery – even a blind man can see. (treachery!)
so…
