"Leverman" lyrics

Hold it, can I just try the middle passage 'cause I've gotta sing an instrumental passage
Alright?

Throw my hands up in the air, I'm
Ready to surrender
Still I gotta watch my step
With my shoestrings tied together
Once I thought I'd rescue you
Now it's just about the best I can do

It starts off as a love song and it
Ends up as a curse
The rhymes are gettin' better
But the words are gettin' worse
You can hear them as they echo
You can hear them for yourself
So how can I help you
When I can't help myself?

Look out for the leverman
Just a lot of hit and run
I don't wanna hear it
'Cause I know what I've done

I've seen these photographs
You put them all together with a
Melody and lots of laughs
And you could make it in the world of entertainment
It takes a lot of insults to raise so few smiles
And if you still think you're getting somewhere
You should realize it's just a lot of silly miles

Well, there's nothing down this road for me with the
Lights turned up so high that you can't see
But if I'm fooling you
Then who's fooling me?
I can't see him in the mirror
Though I knew it all along
What can you do
When your dreams turn out wrong?

Look out for the leverman
Just a lot of hit and run
I don't wanna hear it
'Cause I know what I've done
Look out for the leverman
Just a lot of hit and run
I don't wanna hear it
'Cause I know what I've done
