[Intro]
(It's never been worse)
(That's not true)
(True)
(That's not, that's not, that's not)
(Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is)
Uh
Uh (True)
[Verse 1]
I'm up and a-racin'
I like a foreign entity (Come on, come on, come on)
If you let them embrace it (Ow!)
It's a clockwork energy!
[Chorus]
Inchman, Inchman, why'd you stay so lo-o-ong?
(Oh what, oh what the hell did I do?)
Hits me, hurts me, wants me hurting wro-o-ong
Discuss, discuss, never mercy
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm up in your Days Inn
And I'll be taking what I need
I looked out when you’re welcome, embrace it (Aw, what?)
Where's my apology? No mercy!
[Chorus]
Inchman, Inchman, why'd you stay so lo-o-ong?
(Oh what, oh what the hell did I do?)
Hits me, hurts me, wants me hurting wro-o-ong
Discuss, discuss, never mercy
[Bridge 1]
Although the Inchman goes, everybody knows
Your heart is sleeping in the morning and a-break it down to wake it
Though the Inchman goes, everybody knows
Your moods are pressed into clay and a-break it down to bake it
Although the Inchman goes, everybody knows
Your heart is sleeping in the morning and a-break it down to wake it
Though the Inchman goes, everybody knows
Your moods are pressed into clay and a-break it down to bake it
[Bridge 2]
So while you're washing your hair like you know that you should
The second wind must have made it feel good
You gotta be lifting up flowers and saving your power
For making the leap to the next big thing, don't swing at me
You better believe I'll be singin' gravy, gravy, to the grave, just swingin'
Well, he hurts me, hurts me, wants me plus and swingin'
Discuss, discuss, never mercy
(Oh-oh!)
[Chorus]
Inchman, Inchman, why'd you stay so lo-o-ong?
(Oh what, oh what the hell did I do?)
Hits me, hurts me, wants me hurting wro-o-ong
Discuss, discuss, never mercy
Inchman, Inchman, why'd you stay so lo-o-ong?
(Oh what, oh what the hell did I do?)
Hits me, hurts me, wants me hurting wro-o-ong
Discuss, discuss, never mercy
[Outro]
(Oh...)
(Stay here)
(Why'd you stay?)
(Stay here)
(Closely, trudging)
