"EZ target"
EZ Target
Music and Lyrics by Rachael Yamagata
From the album TIGHTROPE WALKER
AS YOU’RE SITTING IN THE STAIRWELL WITH YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK
WONDERING HOW YOU’LL MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU’RE UNDER AN ATTACK
REMEMBER THERE’S NO GRACEFUL WAY TO GO AFTER AN EASY TARGET
THEY MAY THINK THEY’VE HURT YOUR FEELINGS
BUT YOU KNOW HOW TO SPOT A FAKE
YOU CAN THROW DOWN WITH THE BEST OF THEM
YOU WON’T MAKE THAT MISTAKE
REMEMBER THERE’S NO GRACEFUL WAY TO GO AFTER AN EASY TARGET
WHO SAYS IT’S RIGHT
WHO SAYS IT’S WRONG
I’M FULL TONIGHT
YOU’RE HOLDING A SMOKING GUN
OH YOUR MOTHER TAUGHT FORGIVENESS BUT IT’S HARDER TO FORGET
WE ALL BLEED WHEN WE ARE BORN AND WE WILL BLEED UNTIL WE’RE DEAD
AND WE WILL SHOW OUR TEETH TO ANYONE AT EVERY SIGN OF DANGER
AND I DON’T TAKE ON ANY FIGHT THAT CAN’T BE FIXED RIGHT FROM THE START
AND I WON’T LAY DOWN WITH TWO PEOPLE WHO’VE BEEN FIGHTING FROM THE HEART
BUT I WILL SHOW MY TEETH TO ANYONE FOR I’M NOBODY’S EASY TARGET
WHO SAYS IT’S RIGHT
WHO SAYS IT’S WRONG
I’M FULL TONIGHT
YOU’RE HOLDING A SMOKING GUN
AS YOU’RE SITTING IN THE STAIRWELL WITH YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK
SPIN AROUND AND LET THEM FREE – LIFE IS NOTHING BUT A DANCE
BUT CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY FOR THEY’LL BECOME AN EASY TARGET
