Slide

You’re playing a numbers game
Lighting up zeros
Add it up on your hands
Count it out on your toes
I watch you running all around
Everything is fine
The state of this union’s crazy
I’m along for the slide

I can't be your partner
I can't be your sage
I won't come a callin'
When you feel your age
I can't be your best friend
I won't be your curse
I won't be your batboy baby
I can't be coerced

Remember who brung ya
Don’t touch that dial
Those shoes you were given
Have walked for miles

I heard you slipped the stream
Some things never die
Say what you mean
We can let it ride
Just warp reality
Some knots won’t untie
The difference of wants and needs
And we can all just…

Slide back down
I may never get up again
Slide back down
I may never get up again
Slide back down
I may never get up again

I won’t be your fallguy
Heights make my head spin
I am not your bionic man
But where’s my six million?
I can’t be your lone star
My brain ain't that big
I won't be your Texas Toast
Your hunger's all you is

The clock is up there ticking
Watch those circling hands
So good your fingure lickin’
Nothing ever goes as planned
But if you just need someone
To get high with you
That much I can do for you baby
That much I can do

Remember who brung ya
Don’t touch that dial
Those shoes you were given
Have walked for miles

Slide back down
I may never get up again
Slide back down
I may never get up again
Slide back down
I may never get up again

I heard you slipped the stream
I won’t let this die
Take one for the team
Don’t think that I don’t mind
You warp reality
Some knots won’t untie
Remember the wants and needs
And we can all just…

Slide back down
I may never get up again
Slide back down
I may never get up again
Slide back down
I may never get up again
