The black silhouette appears at my door
Dragging me out, Iâm clawing the floorboards.
Pretty soon Iâm all heads up
For long bombs and double-knotting my Keds up.
Fake left, go left, quarterback sneak.
Try to wriggle out of it, heâll knock you into next week.
Curve ball, bean ball, spit ball, damn it all.
Sportsnut Alcatraz digging out the back wall.
Donât blame me I donât wanna run a buttonhook
Iâm in the middle of a good book.
I quit!
And I donât need to win
I donât wanna be an easy out again.
Why donât you stay here and play with yourself? (repeat)
Itâs not that Iâm weak or donât like outside.
Sometimes I submit and sometimes I hide out,
And itâs a lowly existence.
But when the low survives itâs from persistence.
Fake left go long, quarterback sneak
Try to wriggle it out of it, Iâll knock you into next week.
Man on first, man on third,
Nerd on second with the knees like a bird
Donât blame me I donât wanna run a buttonhook
Iâm in the middle of a good book.
I quit!
And I donât need to win
I donât wanna be an easy out again.
Why donât you stay here and play with yourself? (repeat)
Well hereâs a ball, thereâs a yard.
Go chase it like a stupid St. Bernard (repeat)
I hate a lotta hate a lotta games
I probably oughta not-
I mightâve liked âem better but a stupid St. Bernard
Made me this way, itâs OK.
