"Totem Pole" lyrics
"Totem Pole"
Where exactly do I stand today?
Number one in line, or as a backup just in case?
Turns out I'm just one of many chumps
And when you get tired of me, I'll find out I've been bumped
Being part of your rotation makes me feel a little sick
And now I've got the short end of the stick
I did all you asked right from the start
Everything was perfect 'til you had a change of heart
Not going anywhere for anything
Try to send me off, but you're just pushing on a string
And I keep on chasing even while I keep on getting stung
On the bottom rung
Leaving everything behind me
You'll find me down there
I will always be here waiting
As if you even care
I'm going nowhere
And I hate what I've become but I will stay to play my role
At the bottom of the totem pole...
(I'll be there)
At the bottom of the totem pole

Through stale smoke air
The fireworks blare

So then I came clean
And killed the dream

So quickly

Off With Their Heads - "Call The Cops" Now I don't know much about anything
But I know we're both completely crazy
All we talk about is how things used to be
Try to get together, try to talk
I know I'm gonna have to walk all night...
