Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lately I, I've been headed for a breakdown
Every time I leave my house, well, it feels just like a shake down
Between the street sweepers, and the pushers, or the lawyers
Who may as well be butchers
Between the small-timing hustlers
Who all seem to feed upon each other
[Verse 2]
Oh God, why you been hangin' out in that old violin
While I've been waiting for you to pull me through?
[Verse 3]
(Lately, I)
Lately I, every time I try to lie down
(Can't find my mind) Well, my mind just gets way
I can't even close my eyes now
(Between the) Between the big fish ambition and the lovers
Usin' words as ammunition
(Between the) Between the wood planks I've been pacin' endless
Impossible dream that I've been chasing
[Verse 4]
Oh God, why you been hangin' out in that old violin
While I've been waitin' for you to pull me through?
[Verse 5]
(Lately, I)
Oh God, oh God, oh God, why you been hangin' out in that old violin
While I've been waitin' for you to pull me through?
[Verse 6]
Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God
