Evel Knievel (fire & diesel)
from DEMO 02 by Not For Function
lyrics
Nobody comes around. It hangs you up and it leaves you there. No one wonders why you never show your face in town. I get it, I get it every time I can - a little love like a lucky lap hound. Would you always have me heeling up on the ground? Struggling with restraint, there’s something in the way, cause I was never a painting I was hardly an easel. Pulling a stunt, fucking Evel Knievel in the fire and diesel. You better shake the man’s hand when you meet him. Smile nice when you greet him. Nobody comes around. It hangs you up and it leaves you there. No one wonders why you never show your face in town. I get it, I got it when you came today. You hung me up and you left me that way. Could you always know just what to say? Talking like you own the place, you’ve got exquisite taste, it’s in the mouths of saints, it’s on the tongue of the angels. Looking to kill, dressing contagious, with a scent of danger. You’re shaking my hand like a stranger. Smile right at the danger. You better shake the man’s hand when you meet him. Smile wide when you greet him. But where’s he now that you need him?
