[Lyric] Perfect Teeth (Steady Hands)

Well I used to be a famous singer but I nearly drowned
From yelling at unhappy patrons when I came to town
Oh the way I took the stage
And the way I moved the crowd
But now my diaphragm is swollen and it barely makes a sound
That was the first time I hit the ground

Well I used to have one million dollars, but I lost it all
From betting on unlucky horses, games and alcohol
Oh the way I used to spend
To think money will bring you friends
But those friends will leave you faster than your pockets grow their holes
That was the last time I hit the floor

Cause it's all old and bored
When the heroes they never soar
But you've been way too far now just to give up anymore
Everything you hoped to be can't live up to the man in me
This is the last time I'll see defeat

Well my father is a dentist but I don't have perfect teeth
And my mother is a waitress at a place that I don't eat
And my brother he is a cop but my record is far from clean
But I'm still such a damn optimist when there ain't no point to be
We'll just wait and see
Cause it's all old and bored
When the heroes they never soar
But you've been way too far now just to give up anymore
Everything you hoped to be can't live up to the man in me
This is the last time I'll see defeat
