The I.D.

(You see, it goes like this)

Momma, don't you turn away
Just because I've gone astray
Out of the fire, into the frying pan
This is the story of a sorry man
I have been known to deviate myself
From the path that is set
But let us not forget about the man
Who decided to dedicate his life to the jetset
He is now just a shadow of his former self
And dark clouds hover overhead
The living dead
Move over, you see it goes like this

I could be a mover, I could be a shaker
Don't you try to get in my way
I'm the heart breaker, the money maker
This will all be mine one day
Well, I myself do not think that such a raw ambition, his disposition
To be a sin in itself, though
Should we not forget about the mess
That he got himself in

Where now stands this meek and empty man
There once was a typhoon
Earthquaking, a phenomena
Higher than the rest of us
'Cause he was steppin' on us, steppin' over people
And this is how the story goes, folks

I will go undefeated, I'll be protected
You think you're big time, I'll show you big time
Hollerin' and swallowin' air
Crawling in the pit of despair

Once he got his foot in the door
Well, you know he was a fast stepper
A bad taste in the mouth kind of guy
Funny fella though, always had a joke or two
But be careful, the joke could be on you
Did you ever hear the one about the id
The ego, the super ego
The monumental man sat back to watch his automobile grow
He was a Lamborghini kind of guy, got so high
He would swear he could touch the sky
But the sky was the limit

He was calling, he was crawling
Riddled by the immensities of life
Ladies of the night would call all hours of the day
Every day, all day
Calling for his mommy when the day was done
Yes, he was moving, he was shaking
So lonesome tonight
And his eyes belied his smile awhile
Calling for his mummy but his mummy didn't come

I could be a mover, I could be a shaker
Don't you try to get in my way
I'm the heart breaker, the money maker
This will all be mine one day
I will go undefeated, I'll be protected
You think you're big time, I'll show you big time
Hollerin' and swallowin' air
Crawling in the pit of despair

I could be a mover, I could be a shaker
Don't you try to get in my way
I'm the heart breaker, the money maker
This will all be mine one day
I could be a mover, I could be a shaker
Don't you try to get in my way
I'm the heart breaker, the money maker
This will all be mine one day
