Eavesdropping On The Competition - Cass McCombs

You had the idea of a home

You knew I was homesick, not alone

You said if you could only get through life

Without one opinion, you’d be fine

Eating was for the very involved

Your voice were the worst of all

Now you’re free as the ferry out of Galveston

Eavesdropping on the competition

You had the idea of a cave

Where no one could hear you rant and rave

A good place for an insect

By God, I didn’t know what to expect

New ideas crawled in to undermine

You gave them a piece of your mind

To be free, you paid the ransom

Eavesdropping on the competition

Our competition

I don’t mean to make fun

I ain’t making light

The introduction

Of a gun

You’re more bark than bite

The ideas turned into pacts

There wasn’t even time to react

I signed my name on the dotted line

By God, it’s nobody’s fault but mine

Fingers crossed behind

I shoulda bought that hex potion from that guy

Now tell me, where can I run?
