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
|
