Magic Hymie Songtext
von Jerry Harrison

(Oh yeah)
(It was my last attempt)
(It was my last defense)
(I didn′t think I could ever do it until I did it)
(It was my last attempt)
(It was my last defense)
(I didn't think I could ever do it until I did it)
If it were yesterday
Or any other day
I would have run away
Playing dumb, I would have stayed away
If it were afternoon
Or night or day
I would have run away and put things off
And stayed away until another day, because
(It was my last attempt)
My last attempt
(It was my last defense)
My last defense
(I didn′t think I could ever do it until I did it)


I didn't think I could it
(It was my last attempt)
My last attempt
(It was my last defense)
It was my last defense
(I didn't think I could ever do it until I did it)
I didn′t think I could it
(La la la la la la la la la la la la - oh yeah)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la)
Sometimes you have to be
Stretched to the wire
Before you can untie your hands before you move
Sometimes the gun must be
Held to your head
When there′s nothing left, when there's nothing left
You can go ahead, because
(It was my last attempt)
My last attempt
(It was my last defense)
My last defense
(I didn′t think I could ever do it until I did it)
I didn't think I
(It was my last attempt)
My last attempt
(It was my last defense)
My last defense
(I didn′t think I could ever do it until I did it)
Face the chair
Firing squad
Without the heat
To bring you fear
You'll never know
What you can do
(La la la la la la la la la la la la - oh yeah)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la - oh yeah)
(Keep me going)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la - oh yeah)
(Keep me going)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la - oh yeah)
(Keep me going)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la - oh yeah)
(Keep me going)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la - oh yeah)
So there′s a way out of that corner you've painted yourself into
And maybe you're just gonna have to dig that ditch
A little bit deeper before you can get out of it
Well, do you just gotta stand up
I mean if you sit down all your life what are you gonna do?
I mean you′re just gonna have to climb up
Right over yourself and get out of there
I mean that mess you′re in
You're just gonna have to get out of it
You′re gonna have to decide you gonna do it
You're gonna have to decide you wanna do it
And then you′re just gonna do it
So okay (okay)
All right
Okay (okay)
Okay, ooooh
(It was my last attempt)
(It was my last defense)
(I didn't think I could ever do it until I did it)
(It was my last attempt)
(It was my last defense)
(I didn′t think I could ever do it until I did it)
I didn't think I could do it
(It was my last attempt)
Last attempt
(It was my last defense)
Last defense
(I didn't think I could ever do it until I did it)
I didn′t think I could do it
(It was my last attempt)
Last attempt
(It was my last defense)
Last defense
(I didn′t think I could ever do it until I did it)
I didn't think I could do it
