Lyrics

The sideways man
Walks on his hands
Can't keep from dragging his feet and
When he tries I try
They twist his arms
To get a head start
Tycoons love hitting the jackpot
To get back what they've lost
He'd have to raise the bar

The desert heat left us all in the dark
They buried the sun so I carried the torch
They're head over heels with eyes on the prize
I settled for less and its more than enough
Just say when

Truth be told
I'd rather be sold
Than juggle stepping stones
But when he tries I try
They all take part
To get a head start
Big wigs love hitting the jackpot
Taking all the cheap shots
The referee was wrong

The way they left us all in the dark
They buried the sun so I carried the torch
The way they had their eyes on the prize
I settled for less and its more than enough
Just say when

The way they left us all in the dark
They buried the sun so I carried the torch
The way they had their eyes on the prize
I settled for less and its more than enough
The way they left us all in the dark
Head over heels but it's never enough
Just say when
