[1st Verse]
You came in
Like a summer storm, like a circus
With all your hounds howling at the moon
Raising hell
You painted
The night sky red
With all the paints you kept
In your back pocket
[Chorus]
James, what do you do
When you're tired
Does anyone pick up the slack
For you
[Bridge]
I, I seem to trust
This man who walks the line
Perhaps that's a foolish thing
Fooling thing to do
[3rd Verse]
But something's hard
And avoidable
Some take sips
While others gulp it down
You and I
Both drink with both hands on the gla**
And I forget to breathe
Sometimes I forget to breathe
[Chorus]
James, what do you do
When you're tired
Does anyone pick up the slack for
For you
