Can't Crawl That Way

Can't Crawl That Way - Mark Seymour

I joined the shuffle down the long sad line

Brain cells are working overtime

Like an inset to the light inside

A brave heart has got nowhere to hide

You hold your breath for that winning streak

You play the victim to their double speak

Bolt the door no you don't look back

You can't help but get in on the act

I know what you're reaching for

Rumours of riches beyond that plate glass door

Can't save you from the price you'll pay

But I can't crawl that way

It's not what you need it's what you desire

Amputation couldn't quench that fire

Into the parking lot the game gets rough

To go the distance isn't nearly enough

I know what you're reaching for

Rumours of riches beyond that plate glass door

Can't save you from the price you'll pay

But I can't crawl that way no more

Can't crawl that way no more

And the past has been lost

And you can't even know there's a cost

And your goading eyes still waiting for you

You got the energy to show me how

I hope I'll never be where you are now

To walk the line into the lion's mouth

Already know what I don't want to find out

That's for sure

I know what you're reaching for

Rumours of riches beyond your plate glass door

Can't save you from the price you'll pay

But I can't crawl that way

I know what you're reaching for

Rumours of riches beyond that plate glass door

Can't save you from the price you'll pay

But I can't crawl that way no more
