Slow and Quiet Kind of War

Verse 1

Monday morning he calls me in

Smiling like a shark in a cheap blue tie

Says my numbers slipped a little thin

So he takes my raise and he waves goodbye

Pre-Chorus

I keep my face so calm

I keep my voice so low

But something in me turned cold

Chorus

I'm drawing up a plan tonight

A slow and quiet kind of war

I'm drawing up a plan tonight

You'll never see me at your door

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Never see me at your door

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

I memorized your calendar

Every lunch you take and every call you make

I know the code to the filing drawer

And exactly how much credit you can take

Pre-Chorus

I laugh at all your jokes

I nod and play it sweet

But baby I don't forget a thing

Chorus

I'm drawing up a plan tonight

A slow and quiet kind of war

I'm drawing up a plan tonight

You'll never see me at your door

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Never see me at your door

Oh-oh-oh

Bridge

Patience patience patience

That is all I need

Paper trails and witnesses

I planted every seed

When the boardroom lights go dim

And your name is read aloud

I'll be somewhere far away

Standing in the crowd

Chorus

I'm drawing up a plan tonight

A slow and quiet kind of war

I'm drawing up a plan tonight

You'll never see me at your door

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Never see me at your door

Oh-oh-oh

Drawing up a plan
