Song Lyrics

I could have kept my head down
I might have kept my mouth shut
I should have held my own
You lead a horse to water and watch him drown

You're only as big as your battles
Rattle my cage with your shadow
I'm a bantam weight with a mouthful of feathers
Don't you know that what comes around goes around

I'm not that easy, I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath I come around, round, round

Don't darken my doorstep again
You're mixing up living in chin, chin
You're mixing up lose with win, win
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown

You stumble on glass top table
TV's chewing shock gone cable
Pump me up a beanstalk fable
And I'll call this entertainment
'Cause Humpty's falling down

I'm not that easy, I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath I come around, round, round

Pick a fight an ultra buzzy bubble
Friday night fucking fried up pub crawl
Bantam-weight with a mouthful of feathers
Don't you know that what comes around goes around

I'm not that easy, I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath I come around, round, round
It's not that easy, I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, round, round

It's going down, down, down this run around, round, round
Is bound to pound the daylights out of you
