Steps

Lyrics

Everybody's got a vested interest They got reasons to believe That read like shopping lists Well, I guess I'm no different You know I want it all It's a Cinderella scene And I'm late for the ball, yes, sir And so, the end result of an orgy of lies Rears its ugly head And cold cocks me from behind Can't deny it Oh, and now the grand gesture Seems a little less grand And a lot more desperate And I ain't no farther down the line Come on, tell me what it is Show me what I lack Keep me one step forward Then two steps back Come on, mister, help me out You got it figured There ain't no doubt Is there something I'm missing Some overlooked fact? Keep me one step forward Then two steps back Oh... Now there's trouble in the streets And good men must be found You're sure you're some kind of hero Though I'm sure you're some kind of clown Now I ain't saying Your intentions aren't good But you know you're misguided Not just misunderstood, yes, sir And with every little inch We think we've moved ahead We cross a few more lines Sleep in a few more beds Having a real gone time Go on, deny it So, with every increment A plot soon unfolds That one man's need Is another man's gold That's a crime Come on, tell me what it is Show me what I lack Keep me one step forward Then two steps back Come on, mister, help me out You got it figured There ain't no doubt Is there something I'm missing Some overlooked fact? Keep me one step forward Then two steps back Although it's sound advice To forget about it I can't stop myself From thinking about it Tell me what it is Show me what I lack Keep me one step forward Now two steps back Come on, mister, help me out You got it figured There ain't no doubt Now there's something I'm missing Some overlooked fact Keep me one step forward Now two steps back Oh... Oh... Tell me what I need Tell me what I lack Keep me one step forward Now two steps back, whoo!
