Lyrics The Ready Set

The Ready Set

Giants

just give a little twist, little turn,

keep on looking in the right direction baby.

i'm alive with the lights with the lies,

but i kept on building it, stack it up,

little architect you're crazy, white shirt, black dress tie,

dressed to the nine times too many times.

i couldn't wait to get out of the night life, it's a straight lie.

just calm down,

the trauma's on the inside,

my line's been drawn.

i don't want to be wasting time.

do you think that you'd call it crazy?

contrary, and i shine amazing,

aging process called it quits, and the quicksand

i trudged through and everything i meant to

say so, so said the young ones, the dumb ones,

and "stupid" you called it, but i called it flawless.

played out and fade out, i planned it.

pan left and right, set the curtain.

just calm down,

the trauma's on the inside,

my line's been drawn.

i don't want to be wasting time.

my ticket, my destination, singing "hallelujah".

oh god, i think i've really changed,

but she will love me all the same.

my dear, it's all for you and i will pay my dues,

i owe you some eight years, it's coming to you.

don't say "calm down" and "don't quit this town",

I left 'cause i was bored, and what might be in store.

don't make a sound, 'cause i'll be round.

i wish you could buckle up and take a chance,

you know i really do, and you really do.

just come along.

time's up, life's up, but i won't go.

my ticket, my destination, singing "hallelujah".

oh god, i think i've really changed,

but she will love me all the same.

my dear, it's all for you and i will pay my dues,

i owe you some eight years, it's coming to you.

hallelujah.

i've left town, and i won't come home.

ohio, i don't know, michigindiana, california, where's home?

why, oh why, if eyes collide,

why won't it feel the same, oh why oh? Wonderstands.

why, oh why,

if words are right,

why won't it feel the same oh, why oh?

so now i won't play games, and i won't change.

my ticket, my destination, singing "hallelujah".

oh god, i think i've really changed,

but she will love me all the same.

my dear, it's all for you and i will pay my dues,

i owe you some eight years, it's coming to you.

my dream and now i'm getting out,

i'm screaming "hallelujah",

oh god i think i've really changed,

but she will love me all the same.

darling it's all for you, and i will pay my dues.

i'm counting 4, 3, 2, 1..
