Working hard
Against the underwriter
Got a dog in the fight
But I'm a lover
Not a fighter
And we can't begin
Until we find a way in

Trying to reconcile
The past with the present
Which one fits
And which one doesn't
And we shed our skin
Just to find a way in

What a tangled web
What a piece of the puzzle
Hot licks and rhetoric
Syntactical muzzle
And we can't being
Until we find a way in

Keep time, it feels like nothing
Second time, don't get me humming
Third time it's in the oven
Last time it might come true

You know that I'm the man
Who's on a mission
Keep it simmering
In the kitchen
And we can't begin
Until we find a way in

That's right
Slide right
Stay strong
How long
By now
That's how
Pain show
Trains lost
Fine night
Black light
Textbooks
Dull hooks
Dog fight
All right
Cross road
Change mode
Work hard
School yard
White noise
Bad choice
Hot licks
What sticks
How long
Play strong
