I know it comes and it goes
When you hold the lever, I'm hiding the ore
Just give that man what he wants
Just say the thing that he needs
Why do you have to be so cold
Is it fear of being alone
Is it the only way to go
Way to go
I didn't buy no obligation
I'm not paid to be a picture
Of the one to be adored
Pull the lever, pull, pull the lever
Pull the lever, pull, pull the lever
'Cause I won't set myself on fire
(To keep you warm)
'Cause I won't set myself on fire
(To keep you warm)
People walk a thousand miles
They get calluses, get tired
So tired
There are strangers passing by
You wonder if they got it right
Ooh, ooh
But are you wearing the shoes
Just because you like the looks?
Did you think of trying new ones
Is there something you could lose?
Tie the laces on your feet
They have a life for you to live
I know, they come and they go
If that's what you want
Then go with the flow
But give it to me once more
I want these things to let me go
Abandon the ladder
That's just isn't better
Burn it so I can fall
Burn the ladder, burn, burn the ladder
Burn the ladder, burn, burn the ladder
'Cause I won't set myself on fire
(To keep you warm)
Now I want you to respect my denial
(This shit won' t work)
I will not set myself on fire
(To keep you warm)
You know I won't set myself on fire
(I hit the floor)
