This song deals with the notion of “the other” in oneself and also the hypocritical tendencies of people.
The speaker sees the “rival” (“the other”) in people and how this rival opposes or negatively influences all that these people think and do. Though unlike these people, the speaker acknowledges...
Pot Kettle Black Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Crazy rides rockets
Where's your magic wand?
Empty out your pockets
Words without a song
I, myself, have found a real rival in myself
I am hoping for a re-arrival of my health
[Verse 2]
Sleeping eye sockets
Baby, suck your thumb
I'll keep you in my locket
A string I never strum
It's become so obvious
You are so oblivious to yourself
[Chorus]
Tied in a knot
But I'm not gonna get caught
Calling a pot kettle black
Every song's a comeback
Every moment's a little bit later
[Verse 3]
Lazy locomotives
Wherever you may roll
I think you have no motive
I know you have no home
It's become so obvious
You are so oblivious to yourself
[Chorus]
Tied in a knot
But I'm not gonna get caught
Calling a pot kettle black
Every song's a comeback
Every moment's a little bit later
Every moment's a little bit later
Every moment's a little bit later
Every moment's a little bit later
[Outro]
Tied in a knot
But I'm not gonna get caught
Calling a pot kettle black
I'm not gonna get caught
Calling a pot kettle black
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
