Sometimes

Swinging for the fences
 Hanging from the moon
 I cut my tongue on the rust of a silver spoon
 I bet my billionth bottom dollar on a hopeless case
 And now the devil on my shoulder has a knife to my face
 Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest
 Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest
 Sometimes all you gotta say is "Daddy, make it go away"
 Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass
 ♪
 Chimp with a cigarette in a fifty cent zoo
 Thanks God he ain't in the circus while he's watching you
 I got too close to the furnace
 I've been on both sides of the glass
 But ain't nobody made a monkey out my monkey ass
 Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest
 Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest
 Sometimes all you gotta say is "Daddy, make it go away"
 Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass
 Sometimes you gotta finish what you shouldn't have started
 Sometimes you gotta shoot before you see the target
 Sometimes Daddy's gonna say, "You're not worth the price to pay"
 Sometimes the tunnel only leads to darkness
 ♪
 You built this ship (you did, you did)
 And you'll go down with it

 Racing toward the mailbox
 With a letter in your hand
 But the postman's gone away, and you begin to understand
 That you're no hero to this story
 You're just another wretched pawn
 Who bought his tickets to the sideshow
 And then slept through the alarm
 Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest
 Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest
 Sometimes all you gotta say is "Daddy, make it go away"
 Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass
 Sometimes you gotta finish what you shouldn't have started
 Sometimes you gotta shoot before you see the target
 Sometimes Daddy's gonna say, "You're not worth the price to pay"
 Sometimes the tunnel only leads to darkness
 Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest
 Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest
 Sometimes all you gotta say is "Daddy, make it go away"
 Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass
 Sometimes you gotta finish what you shouldn't have started
 Sometimes you gotta shoot before you see the target
 Sometimes Daddy's gonna say, "You're not worth the price to pay"
 Sometimes the tunnel only leads to darkness
 You built this ship
 And you'll go down with it
