Lyric Pulling Lame

you put the dumbest things
in the strangest places
behind the door, on the floor
a cabinet full of empty faces
let s give it a miss this time
give it a miss this time

is there a problem here
running through the ranks
loss of faith, loss of face
captain will you walk the plank
let s give him a push this time
give him a push this time
it s hard to care who s clinging to the reins
when the horse keeps pulling lame
pulling lame pulling lame

pulling figures from your sleeve
slight of hand
twist of fact
one last request, a final trick
let s see the disappearing act
let s give him a miss this time
give him a miss this time

it s hard to care who s clinging to the reins
when the horse keeps pulling lame
pulling lame pulling lame

all the king s people
running out of hope
jumping ship while he jumps rope
our luck his curse
got a bad way of making good things worse.
