lyrics

I never wanted this for you
But I never let on just how much I knew
Now I'm tongue-tied and tangled and the cat's got my tongue
And I'm running out of reasons why it's easier said than done
I ain't got no frame of reference as far as I can see
I put my money on a horse that hasn't got any knees

Now I'm runnin' on the tracks
Too afraid to look back
I can hear the hounds-a-barkin'
To the tune of Hit the Road Jack

Now I'm still tongue-tied and tangled but I got the bull by the horns
Like a matador on acid having flashbacks full of scorn
About a rabbi and an Indian walking into a crowded bar
Seein' all the single ladies dancin' on the tables
From up close and from afar

Now I'm fallin' from the sky
To afraid to ask why
When I hit the ground I'm gonna shake its hand
And look it in the eye

Oh I never told you how I made it out alive
With a heavy-handed handshake and a little dirt in the eye
No I won't do that again if I have any say at all
Well I'll save it for another rainy day in the fall

Oh I never told you how I made it out alive
With a heavy-handed handshake and a little dirt in the eye
No I won't do that again if I have any say at all
Well I'll save it for another rainy day in the fall
