Ben Gibbard - Good Help (Is So Hard to Find) lyrics

You'll never have to hear the word "no" If you keep all your friends on the payroll The non-disclosure pages signed Your secrets safe between those lines The scaffolding will cheer and console you But remember what your mother told you That good help is so hard to find For people that are so refined You're trying to turn into the skid In this never-ending grid [Chorus] There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool gives it away You said you wanna stake out your claim High above the city from where you came Don't you know the air's so thin? It starves the brain of oxygen I know it's such a dangerous place For there are more ascensions than there is space Angels causing accidents The camera phones'll document But if I start to levitate Pull me down with all your weight [Chorus] There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool gives it away You're trying to turn into the skid In this never-ending grid But you should know it's not ideal All those hands upon the wheel [Chorus] There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool would give Only a fool gives this away
