The Twang - Tea Stained Page

A tea stained page marks the spot where you stayed
As you avoided the game that the rest of us played
And this is stalemate mate
And it pains me to say
This is stalemate mate
Cause you couldn't pull yourself away

The dent in the chair told the tale of today
About how you jumped ship when it started to sway
And this is stalemate mate
And it pains me to say
That this is stalemate mate
Cause you couldn't pull yourself away

Just get away, from the false money spinners
Get away from your next TV dinner
Get away from the thought that you once had her
Get away to make things a little better

The tale that was told was having nobody in
You said you went to a place 
We know you ain't never been
And this is stalemate mate
And it pains me to say
That this is stalemate mate
Cause you couldn't pull yourself away

Just get away, from the false money spinners
Get away from your next TV dinner
Get away from the thought that you once had her
Get away to make things a little better
