Walter Becker - Gods Eye View lyrics

(Last chance) Could you make it, baby If you only had one more one? (Fast break) You think the world is waiting While you're gettin' your bikini done (Screen pa**) Like a blind side tackle Boiling up from way behind (Cheap shot) You can feel it coming But you know it's gonna blow your mind So you rock so and you skank so Well, if you think so why not say so? (Trash talk) Now you tell your girlies That it's nothin' but a burnout buzz (Chump change) When you pick up the pieces You don't even know what it was (Goose chase) A little runaround action Just to keep the background pure (Jump cut) To the grim conclusion That you never can tell for sure Well, it's the God's eye view Better take a long, hard look You're gonna have me right now Like it says in the book It's the God's eye view Baby, it's the queen and the rook Chasing one lonely pawn No, it wouldn't take long (Safe house) Just a simulation of the Mommy and daddy groove (Mood swing) When the game gets tired And you're ready to bust a move (Bad luck) There are no surprises When the best laid plans go bust (Deal with it) In the glaring absence Of anything you could trust So you rock so (So you rock so) It's a fact so (It's a fact so) Now that you know so (Now that you know so) Why don't you act so? (Why don't you act so?) (Breakdown) Of the last resistance And the partisans fold their tent (Mind meld) Like a permanent picture Of your p**y print in cement (Big bang) It's a Bible story With a plot twist at the end (History) And whatever happened Well, it's happening here again It's the God's eye view This is where the deal goes down Girl, you better get right With the facts on the ground It's the God's eye view Everything they say is so No original sins The house always wins (He says) Me and her went walking By the river on Friday night (He says) And we started talking And she says you know it don't seem right (She says) After all that's happened And I end up with a prick like you (Too bad) Well, it's too bad darlin' And there's nothing for a man to do It's the God's eye view Baby, take a long hard look I was standing right there When they wrote in the book It's the God's eye view Baby, take a long hard look I was standing right there When they wrote the book
