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.
