Down For The Count Less Than Three Is Enough For Me
Smacked down and twisted
torn up and left for dead
we're all a little crazy, a little devastated
surprised tonight by the turn of events
but don't run for shelter
a song in hand is enough shelter for me
so write your ballads and all your sappy love songs
we'll turn around and take the long way home
and when you sleep at night
remember times when we always came to
a sad unhappy ending and everyone offending you
i'll take my big dreams and bring them home with me
because nothing that you say affects what i do
and when i wake up, you'll have the rest of me
but not before i get the best of you
run, don't walk, follow the signs
a word of advice from the master of disguise
it's everything you wanted
it's everything you're getting
so pass around the heartache
make sure we all get plenty
and if the day goes by as planned
we'll start up the fire on a cold november night
looks like everyone has gone inside due to a chance of rain
and when you sleep at night
remember times when we always came to
a sad unhappy ending and everyone offending you
i'll take my big dreams and bring them home with me
because nothing that you say affects what i do
and when i wake up, you'll have the rest of me
but not before i get the best of you
i'll be waiting by the phone
enjoying vacant dial tones
and singing songs with empty words
about the way i'll get the best of you
