Albert Hammond, Jr. - Cooker Ship lyrics

Everyone goes when they tell you to leave And they want you to know but they want you to be When they ask you to sit and they told you to stand But you couldn't get up 'cause you couldn't have ran Everyone knows that the time hasn't come That the bulldozer biz that they asked me to fund Was just to steal your dividends Great cooker ship How did I get in a jam like this? Everyone walks when they tell you to run When they want you to stand but they mean that you won When they asked you to be what they told you to see When you asked me to be but I couldn't believe Everyone saw that the thing wasn't right But the things that you do when you want me at night And I know that your thing wasn't dragging a bit When you asked me for a Great cooker ship How did I get in a jam like this? Self-inflicted nightmare Lately I'm just not quite my Self-inflicted nightmare Lately I'm just not Great cooker ship How did I get in a jam like this?
