Geoff Berner - And Promises To Break Before I Sleep lyrics

I put this deal together With everything I have left Every last feather I'd saved to make my nest If you look in my basket That's all of my eggs If I drop it, I'll be lucky if they only break my legs Drop it I'll be lucky if they only break my legs. It's a long shot But it's my only way out. It's a long, long shot But it's my only way out. At my accountant's suggestion I stole this car from a thief The pills I'm 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 Let the chewing gum stick it for at least another mile. It's a long shot But it's my only way out. It's a long, long shot But it's my only way out. God bless the lies I told today God keep them strong, don't 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 don't pay it no mind I wonder what they think about All of the time Cause I'm so used to this nightmare That I'm frightened to awake I've got miles to go, and lots of promises to break Miles to go, and lots of promises to break. It's a long shot, but it's my only way out It's a long, long shot, but it's my only way out It's a long shot, but it's my only way out It's a long, long shot, but it's my only way out.
