Boxerman

[Verse 1]
Boxerman you're on the ropes
All tied up in your own gloves
No, your punches never land
When you're swinging with both hands

[Chorus]
So tell me how
Do you get out
Of the line of fire?
Someday, somehow
We'll be safe and sound
In the ropes and wires

[Verse 2]
Boxerman you're on the shelf
They put you up once you fell
And it's so typical to think
Of the ones on their knees as weak

[Chorus]
So tell me how
Do you get out
Of the line of fire?
Someday, somehow
We'll be safe and sound
In the ropes and wires

[Bridge]
Once you get up to the top
There's only one way you can go
I'll meet you back here at the bottom
Once we have some time to grow
It takes a lot to be a target
The courage of a friend
To stand up in the ring
Against the one that you defend
The one that you defend

[Chorus]
So tell me how
Do you get out
Of the line of fire?
Someday, somehow
We'll be safe and sound
In the ropes and wires

[Chorus]
So tell me how
Do you get out
Of the line of fire?
Someday, somehow
We'll be safe and sound
In the ropes and wires
