Fallback Man.
I don't need your aggravation,
won't you read between the lines?
You found a fortune hunter
to make you feel alright.
He sells you your utopia,
tells you what you want to hear.
You must see all the answers
when you look into the mirror.
(chorus) You're waiting on a midnight train.
You never understand.
You're the one to blame.
Isn't it time you learned
about what is real???
You're hoping for a righteous cause
but you forgot about your fatal flaw.
(It takes a little longer
when you don't know how to feel.)
I won't be your fallback man.
I don't really want to help you.
Won't fall for your lines again.
I won't be your fallback man.
I might not be a clairvoyant
but I know there's something wrong.
Your head's still full of voices
even when you are alone.
You went to the doctor
to try and medicate your soul.
Just how it makes you better,
he's the only one who knows.
(chorus)
If you try to fool yourself,
you might find a surprise.
(To think you could bring emotion
just by closing your eyes.)
I can lead you like a horse to water,
but that ends up the same.
You can look to the sky,
hoping for a desert rain.
I won't be your fallback man.
I don't really want to help you.
Won't fall for your lines again.
I won't be your fallback man.
Next song: A Little Place I Can Hide.
