Eric Andersen - The Hustler lyrics

(Verse 1) You can try and run me down But you can't drive me on the ground When you're not there I'll be around Haunt you I won't make a sound Track you I don't need a hound You think your lost I got you found You're surrounded though you think that they can't see Your castle walls they all will fall You'll be surprised that all in all Nobody really cares at all You won't believe the biggest xxx I can bite your heels when you crawl The pain will come from those so small Go cry wolf or better you should scream Though you're not on top you think your first Some surgeon scalpel steal the nurse Who can let the others feel the hurt When you're the driver of the hearse So you'll feel bad but they'll feel worse Without you what would the doctor be? (Chorus) I'm watching you but not like quite before I will find you you're the one I've been looking for But when it's over don't say sorry any more (Verse 2) Abreast this painter run him down Into the night to paint the town While putting everybody on Blowing smoke rings for the crown You brag of those you've been around You listen to your silly sounds Disciples pa** your bread around While the cross is hidden in your gown They think that they're on holy ground Not knowing Judas watches from the tree While posing as the saint of need You got fathered to the one who's weak By using words like sad defeat You laugh but you got lose the beat The girls all giggle at your feet The squealing people that you meet You might get made but be discreet Don't you take your mask of trick or treat As you get the stars down on their knees But do you really think that you have far to meet? Believing in the magic noose That trips the egg the golden goose And with it you can never lose While fairy tales steal the truth I don't let go hey I don't let loose For the goose is flippin' of the roof And without its wings how can you be free? (Chorus) But I'm watching you but not like quite before I will find you you're the one I've been looking for But when it's over don't say sorry any more (Instrumental) (Verse 3) That ranger he just rides along Protecting those that don't belong In the land that has no right or wrong Time till you just load his gun For k**ing outlaws one by one Shooting in-laws just for fun While the jungle laws are on the run Step out before you get stepped on Sadists wear their war paint on Afraid if you're in the dark to long Cause you know the jungle is no place for the meek You say life is absurdity carnival for melodies You hide the big time bitterly You set the stage so faithfully You're hocker for more mystery While marching so religiously Is the army that has paid to see The choir boy of reality Laugh at all authority And you smile oh so cynically Sole possessor of his key And it's sad to know that's all you'll ever be And you said keep on the sunny side That life is just a rainbow ride Silver studded surfboard glide On the whinnin' waves keep your hide Don't you hit the moon when you fly to wide It'll bring to you down below the tide It's where no one keeps their tears inside The waters can hide them if you cry For in the waves there are no mysteries (Chorus) But I'm watching you but not like quite before I will find you you're the one I've been looking for But when it's over don't say sorry any more
