[Intro]       (x2) [Verse 1] It’s a long way down from the high horse you’re on When you stumble and then you’re thrown And the last time we say him he was out in the rain Watchin’ that train roll down the track Now he’s back in showbiz trying make a comeback [Verse 2] We know that he’s desperate and we know that he’s broke He’s the mystery guest we’ll puncture They told a young girl with a clipboard "Just keep him amused" "Whatever you do don’t tell him your name" "Whatever you say don’t let him drink" Under lime under lime under lime [Pre-Chorus] He whistles out of tune his words don’t always rhyme But we will be right back we’re almost out of time (Chorus) Down a long corridor he’s trying to impress He was helpin’ a showgirl fasten up her dress And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away And the band starts to play [Instrumental]       /   (x2) [Verse 3] In the violent strip of an undressing room She loosened his grip and started Tell me your story if you feel so inclined He was a mess almost resigned Though she could guess I think you will find She thought "Oh you know I wouldn’t mind" [Pre-Chorus] He asked her boyfriend’s name then her whole family tree She thought "I can’t believe it’s happening to me" [Chorus] And upset said "Hey pet: would you kindly pass that pill And allow me to just dictate my dying will" And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away And the band starts to play [Instrumental]       /   (x2) [Verse 4] Jimmy was dreamin’ as she uncrossed her legs He shuttered his eyes discreetly And he thought of a drummer and considered a snare But the beat of his heart said "Don’t even start" His conscience was bare it said "Hey don’t even dare" She’s completely unaware [Pre-Chorus] She forced a laugh or a sigh at every alibi Once every crime was confessed he buttoned up his vest [Chorus] Said "Hey gal you’r a pal you’ve really been a sport And you don’t get a record if you never get caught" And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away And the band starts to play [Instrumental] C   Bbsus2       (x2) [Outro] It’s a long way down from the high horse you’re on It’s a long way back as you cover your track Or you bury your crime Under lime under lime under lime under lime It’s a long way down from the high horse you’re on It’s a long way back as you cover your track Or you bury your crime Under lime under lime under lime under lime It’s a long way down from the high horse you’re on It’s a long way back as you cover your track As you bury your crime Under lime under lime under lime
