Lyrics

[Verse 1] He won't, but then again, he might Changes colour overnight Agrees with everything you say Just as long as he gets paid [Chorus] He's the sideman He's the sideman Watch your back, man He's at your side, man [Verse 2] A smiling face for every place Politesse and mannered grace Acting out his chosen role Never let him get too close [Chorus] He's the sideman He's the sideman Watch your back, man He's at your side, man [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Nothingness behind his eyes Always centered on the prize Snide behind the winning smile Always goes the extra mile [Chorus] He's the sideman The sideman Watch your back, man He's at your side, man [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Blind ambition, empty words Platitudes so well rehearsed A perfect dinner guest, I'm told A liar with a plastic soul [Chorus] He's the sideman Sideman Watch you back, man He's at your side, man He's the sideman Sideman Watch you back, man He's at your side, man He's the sideman Sideman Watch you back, man He's at your side, man Ow! [Outro] Sideman, la-la-la-la Sideman, la-la-la-la Sideman, la-la-la-la (Watch out, he comes again, just know how to be your friend) Sideman, la-la-la-la (Always has to call your name, he's the one you'll attain) (Sideman, he's on your side, man) Sideman, la-la-la-la (Watch your back, man, he's the sideman) Sideman, la-la-la-la
