Step back take a look at her
She's thin as a wafer
With curls and tapers
Sequins and lasers
Jump back take look at me
I'm not getting stronger
My face has grown longer
My mind likes to wander
I'm on the front line
No bullets in my chamber
I'm in the path of danger
A victim of this crime
Hey Jack, it's a tragedy
I'm so insubstantial
She would burn down my candle
She's too hot to handle
Hey boy it's a lucky day
To slip away
Leave your buddies on the step
Clear them from your mind
Stand up take a look at you
There's no conversation
Good bones and foundation
With endless duration
Up on the front line
You're just another gamer
How can I make it plainer?
You're wasting precious time
Step back take a look at her
Then check your reflection
Change your direction
Make your selection
Hey Jack it's a tragedy
Take a look at me
I'm the man you're going to be
And you don't see
When you hesitate
And when you show up late
And when you make the lady wait
You better get this straight:
Up on the front line
I can't be there to save you
If everybody blames you
For wasting precious time
Step back take a look at us
We're dying by stages
In opposite phases
On separate pages
