Trey Anastasio - Lever Boy lyrics

[Verse 1:] Watching the words as I'm hearing your voice You seem to imply I have some other choice Than to follow your logic and stay in the game Though we both know the outcome is always the same A torrent of syllables all swirl around As I try to decode a particular sound That will serve as a lamp post, a signal or a flame To dispel the impression of more of the same Higher and higher we leave the ground Then we pull the lever together we'll be making a sound Higher and higher we leave the ground Then we pull the lever together and we'll be laying down Tie me down and strap me in And crush my heart and take a spin Around the block around the earth A little time with little worth Is all that I have asked you for So take a spin Take a spin [x3]
