(When The Bough Breaks) Say When 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 headstart
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
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 headstart
Big wigs love hiting the jackpot
Taking all the cheapshots
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 have their eyes on the prize
I settled for less and it's more than enough
Just say when

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