Casey Black slows it way down and brings out every syllable of every lyric here. Hear the original on 'The Future Tense'. Casey Black's latest, 'It Shapes Me As It Goes', is a must have for fans of serious songwriting.
lyrics
Seven long years in a hollow tree,
Thinking how different things should have been,
Won’t help.
Seven more years, busying bar keep,
A thousand happy hours and not enough sleep,
Won’t help.
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else.
I was nervous like a caged bird freed
And I did not know what the creature needed from me.
Like a dumb dog on my own leash,
Yes, I dug that hole, now I can’t stay clean.
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else.
Hey,
What good would it be,
If I promised you more than our world would ever give
What good would it do?
To sit around moping, “boy, we’re owed way more than this”?
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else...
Seven more years looking over my shoulder,
Hiding in the past, when it’s high time I rolled over,
And coughed up the cobwebs and my worryings,
For seven long summers and all that they might bring.
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else...
Hey,
What good would it be?
If I promised you more than our world would ever give?
What good would it do?
To sit around moping, “boy, we’re owed way more than this”?
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else...
Thinking how different things should have been,
Won’t help.
Seven more years, busying bar keep,
A thousand happy hours and not enough sleep,
Won’t help.
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else.
I was nervous like a caged bird freed
And I did not know what the creature needed from me.
Like a dumb dog on my own leash,
Yes, I dug that hole, now I can’t stay clean.
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else.
Hey,
What good would it be,
If I promised you more than our world would ever give
What good would it do?
To sit around moping, “boy, we’re owed way more than this”?
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else...
Seven more years looking over my shoulder,
Hiding in the past, when it’s high time I rolled over,
And coughed up the cobwebs and my worryings,
For seven long summers and all that they might bring.
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else...
Hey,
What good would it be?
If I promised you more than our world would ever give?
What good would it do?
To sit around moping, “boy, we’re owed way more than this”?
You’ve got to look in to look out for yourself,
Nobody, nobody, nobody else...
