while one hand takes
the other hand gives
make no mistake
live and let live
with fingers wide open
they run like a sieve
sitting here hoping
for anything left

some lips are up
while others are down
i think they call that
a smile or a frown
depends on the circumstance
and who is around
and whether you live
up or downtown

one mood is high
while the other is low
they come on as fast
as they tend to go
don't bother to ask
if you already know
one side says yes
while the other says no
