Pulling Lame Lyrics

Spirit Of The West Pulling Lame

you put the dumbest things
in the strangest places
behind the door, on the floor
a cabinet full of empty faces
let's give it a miss this time
give it a miss this time
is there a problem here
running through the ranks
loss of faith, loss of face
captain will you walk the plank
let's give him a push this time
give him a push this time
it's hard to care who's clinging to the reins
when the horse keeps pulling lame
pulling lame pulling lame
pulling figures from your sleeve
slight of hand
twist of fact
one last request, a final trick
let's see the disappearing act
let's give him a miss this time
give him a miss this time
it's hard to care who's clinging to the reins
when the horse keeps pulling lame
pulling lame pulling lame
all the king's people
running out of hope
jumping ship while he jumps rope
our luck his curse
got a bad way of making good things worse.
