Flypaper Man

[Verse 1]
If you want to stay sane the best thing is to let go
Not that I would know
I’m a flypaper man – even teflon sticks to me
Every heart I break is on my sleeve
Every dumb mistake is right upfront for show

[Chorus 1]
I’ve got a splinter in my eye
It’s been there since my first lie

[Verse 2]
I can’t shake a habit, can’t shake a single sin
That’s the state I’m in
Got a long long list of people I could blame
I’ve been dragged through the dirt so many times
I can’t tell where it ends and I begin

[Chorus 2]
And I can tell that you’re intrigued girl
You don’t know that you’re way out of my league girl
But you don’t want to be told, you want to know girl
You want to make your own mistakes, well here we go girl

[Interlude]
Looking back
Looking back
Hold your breath and count to three
Looking back
Looking back
Looking back at you and me
Looking back
Looking back
Look at that, you’re like a dream

[Verse 3]
Don’t tilt your head and tell me no one knows
I’m too old and beat up
To pretend I don’t know how this goes

[Chorus 3]
There’s no escape
No point
No use
I think a hundred moves ahead
I know I lose
Don’t be young now, baby
Don’t be rash
I’m not leaving
I’m taking out the trash
