Lyrics
I put this deal together With everything I have left.
Every last feather I1d saved to make my nest. If you look in my basket,
That1s all of my eggs. If I drop it I1ll be lucky if they only break my legs,
Drop it I1ll be lucky if they only break my legs. It1s a long shot,
But it1s my only way out. It1s a long shot,
But it1s my only way out.
At my accountant1s suggestion, I stole this car from a thief.
The pills I1m ingesting Are meant to bolster belief
That the string will stay strung For at least a little while,
That the chewing gum will stick it for at least another mile,
Chewing gum will stick it for at least another mile.
It1s a long shot, But it1s my only way out. It1s a long shot,
But it1s my only way out. God bless the lies I told today,
God keep them strong, don1t let them fail,
And God bless every God damn day
That they keep me out of that Belgian jail.
All them people with money Say they don1t pay it no mind.
I wonder what they think about All of the time
Cause I1m so used to this nightmare, That I1m frightened to awake,
I1ve got miles to go, and lots of promises to break,
Miles to go, and lots of promises to break. It1s a long shot,
But it1s my only way out. It1s a long shot, But it1s my only way out.
It1s a long shot, But it1s my only way out. It1s a long shot, But it1s my only way out.
