Steady as she goes
on the tip of your tounge a hurricane
standing on my toes
I dropped a diamond down the drain
I got on a roll
and it felt like it would never stop
is that what they call soul?
cos it's the farthest thing from the very top
I've got good intentions but the feeling doesn't stay
the lingering resentment keeps getting in my way
I believed the hype
cos it opened up all the doors
they tell you it's worth your life
if you bring the biggest beat to the floor
but before they pay you off
they'll shake you down for your parachute
it's always his ideas that I have to execute
maybe you were right when you said good night
when you said good night
when you said good night
when you said good-bye
I've got good intentions but the feeling doesn't stay
the lingering resentment keeps getting in my way
I've got good intentions but nothing's gonna change
till we cut the cord and never sound the same
