(VERSE SPOKEN)
Are you ready?
Thumbs are up.
One, two, three, four.
Hey mister take a load off let me explain
I`m not hidin` from you carry the blame
Have yourself a good look from the Saskatoon plain
Nothing`s that clear in life I swear by the claim
I rack my conscience for the will to achieve
I could lie, die, cry and to this day not receive
Cause I`m not steady like Eddy
I may not smile for awhile
Got a little of the devil and a mean streak
Cause I hope to one day be complete
In the meantime, yes
We`re just chippin` away?
Eh, got `ole Michael Hehir playin` on guitar
Sometimes we go for months
Not talk at all
No crumblin` wall here
The journey`s come too far
`O rocket spaceship
Take us to the stars
They`re building castles
Straight up to the sky
But the Empire States
Still looks to me like it`s high
(I`m not steady like Eddy
I may not smile for awhile
Got a little of the devil, and a mean streak)
Cause I hope to one day be complete
In the meantime, yes
We`re just chippin` away?
O yea
(I`m not steady like Eddy
I may not smile for awhile)
Got a little of the devil and a mean streak
I hope to one day be complete, yea
I`m not steady like Eddy, `o no
And I may not smile for awhile
Got a little of the devil and a mean streak, yea
I hope to one day be complete
God I`m not steady like Eddy, `o no
I may not smile for awhile
God bless the poor man, who knows what he seeks
Cause I hope to one day be complete
In the meantime, yes (yoa)
We`re just chippin` away
O-o, (yoa)
O-o
O-o.
Ha, ha, I`m a bastard. (spoken)
