Sideman
He won't but then again, he might
Changes colour overnight
Agrees with everything you say
Just as long as he gets paid
He's the sideman
The sideman
Watch your back, man
He's at your side, man
A smiling face for every place
Politesse and mannered grace
Acting out his chosen role
Never let him get too close
He's the sideman
The sideman
Watch your back, man
He's at your side, man
Nothingness behind his eyes
Always centred on the prize
Snide behind the winning smile
Always goes the extra mile
He's the sideman
The sideman
Watch your back, man
He's at your side, man
Blind ambition, empty words
Platitudes so well rehearsed
A perfect dinner guest, I'm told
A liar with the plastic soul
He's the sideman
The sideman
Watch your back, man
He's at your side, man
He's the sideman
The sideman
Watch your back, man
He's at your side, man
He's the sideman
The sideman
Watch your back, man
He's at your side, man
Sideman, la-la-la, la
Sideman, la-la-la, la
Sideman (watch out, he comes again)
La-la-la (just know how to be your friend)
Sideman (always has to call your name)
La-la-la (he's the one you'll attain)
(Sideman) sideman
(He's on your side, man) la-la-la, la
(Watch your back, man) sideman
(He's the sideman) la-la-la, la
