Fish and Chicks

lyrics

Random citizen are you still here, may I impose on your time
There’s but seconds to waste and it will go overtime can’t you tell
Check your watch never fear, as if you would as if you would
Now pocket your wallet and take your cue, your money is refused it’s no good here
And can’t your eyes meet mine do you prefer the texts of long ago
That you’d race to their comfort misgivings in tow

If you expect me to submit, come claim your prize
If you expect me to live I expect you to try
If you expect a gift it comes as no surprise
That if you want me to commit I better come back alive

Your number rang me false and your silence did the same
O I’m staring you dead in your face
You quicken your step across the walk shouldering me into the blame
I heap fire on your head and wine in your cup but your fingers gnaw the wall
O pretend to have slept but we all know you saw, we all know you saw
O pretend to have slept but we all know you saw can’t drink and now you can’t talk

If you expect me to submit, come claim your prize
If you expect me to live I expect you to try
If you expect a gift it comes as no surprise
That if you want me to commit
I better come back alive

I better make it out alive

I prefer to lend, you insisted you’d buy
I wanted a friend but swore off the tribe
I pleaded my rights you swore off the bribe
Treated as strange what I believed fine
Lion I was in the pride of life
Hunting for something left me blind
Hunting for something left me blind
But I better make it out alive

If you expect me to submit, come claim your prize
If you expect me to live I expect you to try
If you expect a gift it comes as no surprise
That if you want me to commit
I better make it out alive
Better make it out alive
