Good Help (Is So Hard to Find)

[Verse 1]
You'll never have to hear the word "no"
If you keep all your friends on the payroll
The non-disclosure pages signed
Your secrets safe between those lines

[Verse 2]
The scaffolding will cheer and console you
But remember what your mother told you
That good help is so hard to find
For people who are so refined

[Pre-Chorus]
You're trying to turn into the skid
In this never-ending grid

[Chorus]
There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
Only a fool would give
Only a fool gives it away

[Verse 3]
You said you wanna stake out your claim
High above the city from where you came
Don't you know the air's so thin?
It starves the brain of oxygen

[Verse 4]
I know it's such a dangerous place
For there are more ascensions than there is space
Angels causing accidents
The camera phones'll document

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I start to levitate
Pull me down with all your weight

[Chorus]
There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
Only a fool would give
Only a fool gives it away

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
You're trying to turn into the skid
In this never-ending grid
But you should know it's not ideal
All those hands upon the wheel

[Chorus]
There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
Only a fool would give
Only a fool would give
Only a fool gives this away
