The Other Shoe

[Hook] We're dying on the inside Dying on the inside Dying on the inside Dying on the inside Right on time here's the other shoe Clouds overhead start to loom Some born to win others fated to lose From the options we must choose My friend dread is right on time Can't start to think that it is fine Watch the tower as it starts to teeter The new lyrics follow the same old meter It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall [Hook] Butterflies, my stomach starts to heave What joyous blunder waits for me Finished first but I missed the start Hitched the mule behind the cart Take the rose by the thorns Hope for sun, but here's the storm So head outside and wait for rain Watch it all go down the drain It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall [Hook] We settle in but it's time to go Taken to sea by the undertow Love the smell but I hate the taste Feeling good is such a waste Loved the book but I hate the end Gained a lover but I lost a friend Straight to worst, from the best Nothing fills that hole in my chest It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall To make things worse, it all goes so fast And we try to hold on as they go past We need a Peter, we get a Paul At least Judas had some balls To make a move on these building doubts About how this messiah thing would shake out I feel the nail against my skin Wait for the hammer to drive it in It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall [Hook]
