Now We're Even - Michael Penn

作词：Michael Penn

作曲：Michael Penn

Never been to Mexico

It's only half a mile or so

the mission on the bluff below

Don't get out much

Crow tastes like chicken meat

And I've heard cats land on their feet

If that's a lie

I want you to delete it

Was mystified

Took a Greyhound for a ride

And by Arcadia

decided I'd be Steven

Now we're even

Please do not take offense

Salute two fingers standard squat

Jabbed the bag without a sense

that you knew half what I forgot

One tug of war that pulled me in

and furthermore it tipped the balance

either or

Was so deceiving

It's best I leave in

Now we're even

We're caught inside an undertow

I don't know how to overthrow

Cocks crow and dogs will bark

You are swimming in the dark

On tenderloin a hungry shark is feeding

I'm warm and dry

and as the water table's high

it's pointless to identify

my destination

So anchors aweigh

And if I do my own self say

there wasn't any better way

I was conceiving

Now we're even

Now we're even
