Silence was a friend indeed
Came to me on bended knee
Asked politely for my mind to stand at ease
Silence said only to be
But history says a fool is he
Who follows not the footsteps of his calling
And what calls me to shore
Is it the wanting of the war
Is it to fight another day to say
Hey I was good
Did what I should
I should not care what for
Wheels spinning faster round and around
Oh the end is gaining ground
Better keep on, better keep on making sounds
Even though I stand behind and pry
If I say the same thing tomorrow
Come hell, come high water
Take me down, take me down, take me down
Zazz was an angel, fell from heaven
Took his time to sink
Touched ground on 13th and second
And he found himself a drink
He took one hard look around
And then he laid more money down
Said, this whole town needs saving
Who am I to disagree
But it's okay
If I don't get it done today
And it's alright
If I stay up late tonight
But if I say the same thing tomorrow
Come hell, come high water
Take me down from this slippery road
Sam was sure from the west side of Philly
And she made her presence known
None of you here would have any idea
She's got three little kids at home
She said, my daytime is pay
For when the kids are alright someday
My nightlife could need changing
Who am I to disagree
But it's okay
If I don't get it done today
And it's alright
If I stay up late tonight
But if I say the same thing tomorrow
Come hell, come high water
Take me down from this slippery road
Take me down from this slippery road
Although I know I just want to feel better
It's such a slippery road
When I get out of my head again, my head again
And it's okay
If I don't get it done today
And it's alright
If I stay up late tonight
But if I say the same thing tomorrow
If I say the same thing tomorrow
Come hell, come high water
Take me down from this slippery road
And it's okay
If I don't get it done today
And it's alright
If I stay up late tonight
But if I say the same thing tomorrow
Come hell, come high water
Take me down from this slippery road
Take me down from this slippery road
Wont you take me down, take me down from this slippery road
