Chicken Lyrics - Singles - Arcwelder

(music: s.macdonald/arcwelder lyrics: s.macdonald) 

He who hesitates is me[ 

My indecision's yours to see 

I have these words to say 

But they don't come til you're away 

All I want to do is define 

The grey areas yours and mine 

Mind races excuse excuse 

I can't pry my tongue loose 

[chorus] 

I am a chickenshit 

Libido's low my heart's with it 

So I write this dubious hit 

I am a chickenshit 

The subject's getting old 

I strike while the iron's cold 

I could tell you anything 

Except what my tongue won't bring 

I've had enough of this 

Wounds with a lemon twist 

What's that on your left hand shadows of a wedding band 

[chorus] 

Why repeat the past 

Memories will last 

Not a lot to say 

Say it anyway 

What is past you now 

Seems a sacred cow 

All I wanted was to give us both some hope 

I'm not good enough 

I'm not strong enough 

To be creator and destroyer of the rope 

Are you sitting down 

Yes you're sitting down 

You should be running but your past's a ball and chain 

You know all about the first step 

But can you take what comes next 

The wind's direction doesn't need a weather vane 

Are you happy now? 

Are you happy now 

I was open but your walls were in the way 

Just a little faith in me 

Just a little empathy 

You could be dealing with a different man today

Sit down 

Siddown 

Sit down
