A D E
You treat me like a jojo, first you pull and then you push
you reveal a secret, then you hide behind a bush
you got me so confused, I don’t know where I stand
I’m drifting in an ocean while I’m standing on the land
Chorus (2x)
double bind, double bind, It’s a crying shame
at the same time freezing ice and burning flame
I feel like a puppet that is hanging on your string
making funny movements that don’t lead to anything
would you be so kind and at least write me a plot
so I can act with sense, not like an uncontrolled robot
Chorus (2x)
double bind, double bind, It’s a crying shame
it makes freedom and enslavement seem the same
since I fell in love with you we’re playing tit for tat
like we did in school except our playground is not flat
it has four dimensions and the rules change all the time
I give up, surrender, I can’t make our poem rhyme
Chorus (2x)
double bind, double bind, It’s a crying shame
I have been a part of it before you came
