Lyrics

Here I hang, hung by you
So simply strung by you
'Cause the head's no longer the leader

I'll take the cross-brace
Put on a brave face
If the tail end's no more the concluder

And I'll read all the signs
Until it hurts my eyes
So you can close yours and let your mind sleep for a while

And I'll join the brigade of the battle you choose
'Cause sometimes you win, and sometimes I lose

And you (shouldn't be my)
You (my inner ear)
You (balance me better)
My puppeteer

So the discord deflates
And the seams left to fray
At the edge of what seemed like a perfectly good day

I'm tired of all this
And I know you are too
But sometimes I win, and sometimes you lose

Go lucky, go easy
That's me man I'm breezy
No time for unpicking the snags that receive me
Indifferent, un-allied, no whelm, not much meaning
But no strings attached is unarmed in a clearing

And you (shouldn't be my)
You (my inner ear)
You (balance me better)
My puppeteer

So the discord deflates
And the seams left to fray
At the edge of what seemed like a perfectly good day

I'm tired of all this
And I know you are too
But sometimes I win, and sometimes you lose
