I'll take you at your word
and as far as I can throw you
leave you
with the baby
and I hardly even know you
it's gut check time for
daddy
when it's loaded and unlocked
got to go in to press some
skin
and leave it gleaming in the dock
would you watch her for me
sir?
I'll have to take you at your word...
I read up
on the stallions
marked an X inside the box
I just want the strong
one
not the one who counts and talks
and if you roll the sleeves
up on your shirt
I'll take you at your word
doc's
flicking at the barrel
with the needle to the sky
got me counting
backwards
as it sinks into my thigh
you said you'd cut me good
and I'll have to take you at your word...
I trust in my
abilities
but I want more than they offer
working then gambling
like the cycle of water
it's harder to breathe as you're raising the
stakes
move, bubble, rise, rain and evaporate
not
an atom left to hold me
medicated on the bus
I'm sleeping soundly
as we're swerving
but the driver's not I trust
c'mon Big Bopper
c'mon Buddy
get in the chopper
hope your boots aren't muddy
she's an airworthy bird
I'll have to take you at your word...
I trust you to be on it
completely bonded and stone
cold honest
sure
