I am the economist My worst fears all came true Dear all the snakes that i have met I wave white flags to you And it's a long long way to the foot of your bed It's been a long hard day and i can't ever get you alone How do i get you alone And if i go away, can i ever go back, can i ever turn back? no New knives that i can't escape cause i ain't living in the black I ain't living in the black, i know I could never make it alone The faucets leak, the floorboards squeak I've found my place to live Woke up riding shotgun Felt that daylight creeping in It's been a long hard day take me out to the back I think i lost my way but honey you got the map, i know And if i go away, can i ever go back, can i ever turn back? no New knives that i can't escape cause i ain't living in the black I ain't living in the black, i know
I could never make it alone I just wanna be good at something i like Something i might wake up for Cause i've been sleeping so long I'm up on a stage or minimum wage Scream myself hoarse And if i go away well i won't wait, no i can't wait Turn around and you'll get replaced No i won't wait forever, no i won't And if i go away well i won't wait, no i can't wait Turn around and you'll get replaced No i won't wait forever, no i won't And if i go away, can i ever go back, can i ever turn back? no New knives that i can't escape cause i ain't living in the black I ain't living in the black, i know I could never make it alone And if i go away, can i ever go back, can i ever turn back? no New knives that i can't escape cause i ain't living in the black I ain't living in the black, i know I could never make it alone
