Hello chaos my old friend
We finally got there in the end
I found a loophole in the law

I stumbled then I crawled through
Never frightened that that noose would tighten
I felt enlightened

My senses heightened
Yet all this time you've been inclined
To watch me from the sidelines

Miles from the frontline
Hoping that some sniper
Had picked off this magic piper

To shoot the messenger
That's what's obsessing ya


You only kick me when I'm down
When I get up you come around
You come around, you say I'm great

You're only twenty years too late

Well where I lived

Don't make no bones
Was several feet below a stone
Far from appalled

I was enthralled
The snake that slithered learned to crawl
Through the quagmire of my mislaid plans

That backfired
I felt enlightened
My senses heightened

You called me up
To wish me luck
To let me know this business sucks

Let's change it
Let's rearrange it
So why do I get the feeling

That there's something you're concealing?
That it's a put on
You scratch your foot on


You only kick me when I'm down
When I get up you come around

You come around, you say I'm great
You're only twenty years too late


Did I do something to make you hate me?
It's funny how you thought you'd break me


You're too late
Too much
Too soon

How high
The moon
Too little

Toolate
Too bad
That's the breaks
