Ari Hest - Middle Man lyrics

Smoking a pipe rocking in chair the middle man Plotting the ways he's going to interfere Permanent smile black in the eyes and onto you All the moments of joy unwillingly disappear Holding you down, building you up Holding you down forever Holding you down, building you up Holding you down forever He is the sound you hear As the train rolls in The daggers in your ear The unforgiving ring You try to stay calm Draw in a breath of sanity Try to believe that This isn't happening Holding you down, building you up Holding you down forever Holding you down, building you up Holding you down forever Listen closely, take it to heart Hate to tear your plans apart but Don't resist just let the poison in I've got a message here Stick it in your file No matter what you do It will be worth his while Holding you down, building you up Holding you down forever Holding you down, building you up Holding you down forever
