Pulling Levers

Pick up all your clothes
Pack up all you know
Toss away the o-o-old
Chase that fool’s go-o-old
It’s the same little girl that I recognize
But someone’s been pulling levers behind those eyes
You can stay where you are
Or walk back to the start
We’re a million miles apart
We’re a million miles apart
We’re a million miles apart
You’re riding your life like a story
But nobody’s reading it
You caught off your ties like a switchblade
And never said sorry
You can stay where you are
Or walk back to the start
We’re a million miles apart
We’re a million miles apart
We’re a million miles apart
The city is way too small for me to have a nemesis
And I’m way too small to want to make the best of this
Call me too fragile
I’ll call you too stupid
You don’t even what you’re gonna be losing
Sometimes when you’re drinking
You say what you’re thinking
So let me go ahead, and pour a dozen more
Sometimes when I’m thinking
I know why you’re sinking—
Too little too late!—
Too little too late!—
Too little too late!—
You can stay where you are
Or walk back to the start
We’re a million miles apart
We’re a million miles apart
We’re a million miles apart
