Mansions The Economist lyrics

I am the economist
My worst fears all came true
Dear all the snakes that I have met
I wave white flags to you
And it's a long long way to the foot of your bed
It's been a long hard day and I can't ever get you alone
How do I get you alone

And if I go away, can I ever go back, can I ever turn back? No
New knives that I can't escape cause I ain't living in the black
I ain't living in the black, I know
I could never make it alone

The faucets leak, the floorboards squeak
I've found my place to live
Woke up riding shotgun

Felt that daylight creeping in
It's been a long hard day take me out to the back
I think I lost my way but honey you got the map, I know

I just wanna be good at something I like
Something i might wake up for
Cause I've been sleeping so long
I'm up on a stage or minimum wage
Scream myself hoarse

And if I go away well I won't wait, no I can't wait
Turn around and you'll get replaced
No I won't wait forever, no I won't
