Ballad of the Bailing Man
Christ, go easy on this one
Let her understand and for me to do the same
It's a long way out and a short one
Back to the lonely place from which we came
First one in and the last one out
But she's calling it off like a nuclear testing ban
Then I heard it down in the bar
It's the ballad of a bailing man
But down in the pigsties and up to the high rise
They do it the same, they don't even give it a name
Falling head over hard on the heels
Of a 10 second kick just a prick in a stupid game
So kick it over like castles made of sand
You gotta get it young get it while you can
Til there's nothing left here at all
But the ballad of a bailing man
Caught in the crush and sees it too much
I want to get out of this little world
It seems the only place that I want to stay
Is in my dreams
Let her understand and for me to do the same
It's a long way out and a short one
Back to the lonely place from which we came
First one in and the last one out
But she's calling it off like a nuclear testing ban
Then I heard it down in the bar
It's the ballad of a bailing man
But down in the pigsties and up to the high rise
They do it the same, they don't even give it a name
Falling head over hard on the heels
Of a 10 second kick just a prick in a stupid game
So kick it over like castles made of sand
You gotta get it young get it while you can
Til there's nothing left here at all
But the ballad of a bailing man
Caught in the crush and sees it too much
I want to get out of this little world
It seems the only place that I want to stay
Is in my dreams
