"Tin Man" lyrics

"Tin Man"

You were dancing 'til the needle broke
Back and forth 'til the music stopped
There was lightning
It was frightening

And the deficit wasn't all that clear
Back and fourth 'til the music stopped
There was lightning
There was lightning

I got that leopard soul
I got the taste for liver
I got bends and bows

But the medicine made it all so clear
I watched a fox take the rabbit's luck
In the lightning
It was frightening

Take me on my best day
Scratching at the callous of chemistry
Time doesn't lie, it's a drug
But you never did disappoint me if I didn't win

Moving over quicksand
There was a time I looked for danger
But the test of the tin man rivals with nothing

Was always thinking of everything now that I wouldn't give
Deep down underground
This sounds like nothing that I wouldn't give
Was a test of might, turn around, sound bite
Sounds like nothing that I wouldn't give
There's nothing that I wouldn't give

Take me on my best day
Scratching at the callous of chemistry
Time doesn't lie, it's a drug
But you never did disappoint me if I didn't win

Moving over quicksand
There was a time I looked for danger
But the test of the tin man rivals with nothing

No, this is not the start
This is nowhere near the end
I gotta hold that line of sight
Emboldened by the fight
This is not the start
This is nowhere near the end
I'm in a holding pattern right
This test of all my might

You were dancing 'til the needle broke
Back and forth 'til the music stopped
There was lightning
It was frightening
And the deficit wasn't all that clear
I watched a fox take the rabbit's luck
In the lightning
It was frightening
