The World According To Lionel

Too Tall

So you're tough as nails
'cause you rode into hell
just to come back again
And you got no friends
'cause you don't trust them
not to turn their backs again
And you don't like women
'cause you know the one you're beating
is going to try to leave again
If I was you I'd think the whole thing through
Before you get the rack again

So you're standing at the bar
Slamming down tequila
Feeling real tough again
Yeah, you're looking for a fight
Just to round off the night
To make you feel alive again
And some girl just walked in
Yeah, but she's with him
So you're gonna letch again
You don't try to pretend
You don't care who you affend
As long as you're a man again

But do you think anyone would care
If you were to just disappear
Do you watch your back
When your walking home all alone
Too Tall's all alone

Now you know that there's many
Who will smile and act friendly
'cause they're scared again
Just trying to get through the night
Just trying to stay out of sight
Of you're glare again
And the bartender
Doesn't want to affend ya
So you get another drink again
Yeah, you're king of the night
With you're hate and your spite
Acting like a jerk again

So it's the end of the night
And you drag your ass outa sight
To be sick alone again
Yeah, you pass out on the floor
With your feet out the door
Sleeping in your boots again
But you got a big knief
Yeah, to justify your life
And push your point again
But if I was you
I'd think the whole thing through
Before you get the rack again
