Stuntman

Here's is the part where i almost died
they edit that out of course
another non-stop action packed thrill ride

You think that i'm valiant
that i escaped impending doom
it was really the stuntman
i was asleep in my hotel room

He'll take the fall
the stuntman
He'll give it all
the stuntman

and during the part where i barely dodged the flames
yes it was he who burned
as i talked to my friends outside of the frame

i sit in my chair and sip tea
he's breaking his neck and not me
he's halfway consumed by the dark
sometimes when they shoot through the sparks

and i've got a hunch he's taking the punch
when my face is all that you see

He'll take the fall
the stuntman
He'll give it all
the stuntman

later on in the credits
before the best boy
but after the cast
like some ghost between edits
he quietly suffers the sins of my past
i could have died but he saved me
all that i am he has made me

He'll take the fall
the stuntman
He'll give it all
the stuntman

He's taking the fall
he's giving it all
the stuntman
