What did you say to make that guy so angry?
Scott smiles, I burst through a restaurant
to their kitchen back door
The cooks look up startled as I trip across the floor
“You used to be so good at getting out of things, Scott
 How come you never taught me that goddamn trick?”
Outside the restaurant, we’re sizing up the fence
Am I going to get over that thing?
I’ve been through worse than this
I will live to laugh about this
I am sick of it, Scott, running
Jumping roof to roof it’s scary
“I’m sick of it, Scott, fighting
Sometimes winning, sometimes my jaw needs icing
I do think that I’m funny
But someday it’ll be one bon mot too many”
“I honestly don’t know if I am going to make some of those leaps”
I gesture up and a figure in a window waves, Hi!
“There has got to be some smarter way to deal with all these creeps”
Scott furrows his brow, purses his lips and says,
“There has never been a time
When brains have not won over brawn
We will live to see the dawn”
“And Scott you’re still not really here”
“We all do what we can where we can, Pete”
“Get home safely”
I will, I do, I always do
"I miss you, you bastard”
I will, I do, I always do
“There has never been a time
When brains have not won over brawn
We will live to see the dawn”
“And Scott you’re still not really here”
“We all do what we can where we can, Pete”
“I’m sick of it, Scott, fighting
Sometimes winning, sometimes my jaw needs icing
I do think that I’m funny
And that’s what I said to make that guy so angry”
