Piece Of Cake
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.
Trying to get away
From banging on the tabletops
Screaming at the top of my lungs
Did it in a day
When any other person would have taken off
For most of a month
Then I had to pay
I was shaking from the aftershocks
Never thought I'd steady again
Now I'm going grey
J. Jonah's got a doppelganger
Playing in his own rock band
It was piece of cake
But making cake's not easy
Sometimes the one you take
Can make a mess as we'll see
Never wanted out
I was leaning on the door
When the whole thing fell to the ground
Thought I was about
To make it go away
And maybe tuck it where it's safe and sound
If ever you're in doubt
You never want to cut twice
Never having measured at all
Had to leave it out
'Cause whether I had wanted to
Never really mattered in the freefall
It was piece of cake
But making cake's not easy
Sometimes the one you take
Can make a mess as we'll see
Everybody knows
But no one knows what went wrong
So the story grows
You never let truth get in the way of a good song
It was piece of cake
But making cake's not easy
Sometimes the one you take
Can make a mess as we'll see
It was piece of cake
But making cake's not easy
Sometimes the one you take
Can make a mess as we'll see
