Pistol on a Shelf Songtext
von Eggs Over Easy

′Twas not so long ago when I began to roam
I was tired of always hanging 'round
Now my feet are dragging and my head is hanging down
And I can′t seem to find my way home

I talked to her and I talked to him
But they all do nothing
They only tell me to sink or swim
Now I'm feeling crazy like a pistol on a shelf
And I can't blame nobody but myself

I still remember how that sofa used to feel
Where we sat holding hands playing games
Of all my memories, this alone seems real
Was a time when our love knew no shame, oh no


Soon the world brought us to an end
And for something inside
I had to leave my only friend
Now I′m so lonesome, so all alone
That I can′t seem to find my way home

If you should ever wonder where your time has gone
Just think back on the places that you've been
And try to realize your life is not your own
If the reason you play is just to win
Be yourself, you ain′t no one else
And don't let nobody fool you
Into feelings that you don′t feel
And just remember that the game you play is real
And you don't cheat nobody but yourself
I just can′t blame nobody but myself
