"Confidence Man" lyrics

"Confidence Man"

I'm a confidence man
Piss down your back
Tell you it's raining
A confidence man
Reigning like a queen
Like anyone else
Everyone expected to be queen
Which is more possible,
For it to rain piss,
Or a kaleidoscope of queens?
A confidence man

These are your words
Use 'em in my favor
On the train, I pull your wallet
Feed it to a mule
You come at me with bloodshot eyes
Charging like a bull
I'm a confidence man
Not a confident man

Fall into the shadows
Some mug preaching 'bout humility
A confidence man

You nearly did a, "What? Who's there?"
Nobody here but us chickens
Doesn't matter, was a ruse anyway
Took your pants that time
I'm a sensitive man
Got the confidence to try

I know nothing about you
Yeah, you know everything about me
If I reveal any more
I'll just be a spy
I'm a confidence man
Not a confident man

I'm not a confident man
They're much more dangerous
Look at this man
Never questioning
Never failing
So he never learns
Look at him
I mean, watch his ass

He's the kind of thief
That works in broad daylight
That never get caught
You give me the heebie-jeebies, sir
I'm a confidence man
Not a confident man

Oh, you made me
You abandoned me
These are your words
Use 'em in my favor
Gimme all your confidence
I'll feed it to a mule
