Oddball
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Long as I'm on this side of forever
I'll be singin' for my supper, won't say never
And the road I take, whether high or low I know
Once I catch a song I've got to let it go
Here we go now...yeah
Wake up boy this is your conscience
Parrot on your shoulder who nags at you to win
Loser for a moment, but a moment seems a lifetime
Wrong side of the bed, here we go again, here we go again
Uh huh
Nights I've spent so drunk from guzzlin' wonder
Morning manager cracks the whip I fight not to go under
If and when my ship rolls in
Well, Lord I'll have it made
And I'll toss my blues up the sky
Throw on my mirrored shades
Some like to play it safe
Others dangerous, ooh
They say that safety sells
But I dig that danger rush, ooh
Oddball draws his water
From another well
A sore thumb is a beacon
That leads you out of Hell
Oddball heed the call
You've got to answer when the light goes on
Oddball heed the call
You've got to answer when the light goes on
Bathroom wall poet
Or a pigeon with a message
Hopin' my two-cents worth
Will pull you from the wreckage
Let the bells of originality ring
Let the voices that choose their own path sing
They say that safety sells
But I dig that danger rush, ooh
Oddball draws his water
From another well
A sore thumb is a beacon
That leads you out of Hell
Oddball heed the call
You've got to answer when the light goes on
Oddball heed the call
You've got to answer when the light goes on
You've got to answer when the light goes on
You've got to answer when the light goes on
(Got to answer when the light goes on)
You've got to answer when the light goes on
(Got to answer when the light goes on)
Ooh, yeah
(Got to answer when the light goes on)
You've got to answer when the light goes on
(Got to answer when the light goes on)
