Middle Man (Original)

You said you would keep your word
Can't help myself to stare when you hit the road
Filthy are her shoes when she kicks up dirt
The way he looks
The way she looks
Departure is a crime when it's brought up first
Grabbing for the gun when somebody gets hurt
Who would bite the bullet when it's evident
A single living man is the evidence
Without you
Hate that they live a life without you
Advice would surely not suffice without you
They thrive off of negative advice as they roll the dice
I know they just can't live without you
We're busy spitting gas on the ones we love
I doubt if you truly were concerned
Then you wouldn't send a messenger to carry out your dirty work
Figures that our own self-interest at heart
Oh, but you swear that it's falling apart if you cared
Then you wouldn't send a messenger
And send him to the sky to burn
Oh
(A third wheel laid back observery
A third wheel laid back discovery
A third wheel laid memory
Always felt kind of lonely
Never really knew what his place was
Now he knows it was a paid stub
Never too little time for the middle man
He sees what he wants and he takes what he
Can)
