Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Lately I, I've been headed for a breakdown

Every time I leave my house, well, it feels just like a shake down

Between the street sweepers, and the pushers, or the lawyers

Who may as well be butchers

Between the small-timing hustlers

Who all seem to feed upon each other

[Verse 2]

Oh God, why you been hangin' out in that old violin

While I've been waiting for you to pull me through?

[Verse 3]

(Lately, I)

Lately I, every time I try to lie down

(Can't find my mind) Well, my mind just gets way

I can't even close my eyes now

(Between the) Between the big fish ambition and the lovers

Usin' words as ammunition

(Between the) Between the wood planks I've been pacin' endless

Impossible dream that I've been chasing

[Verse 4]

Oh God, why you been hangin' out in that old violin

While I've been waitin' for you to pull me through?

[Verse 5]

(Lately, I)

Oh God, oh God, oh God, why you been hangin' out in that old violin

While I've been waitin' for you to pull me through?

[Verse 6]

Oh, God

Oh, God

Oh, God
