Carbon Monoxide Blues - Let Me Play Lyrics

As you slide down the staircase of desire
You wonder who will light your fire
Is it the man next door to you or would you like to try me?
Yeah me? Me?

It's all relative to size and beauty I suppose
It's all relative to the blindness you hide
You hope I leave you alone
You hope I leave you alone
You hope I leave you alone
You hope I leave you alone
"Oh why won't he leave me alone?"

I know I will let you down
By why not give me a try?
The worst that will happen
Is it's a waste of time
You've got nothing better to do anyways
You may as well let me play
May as well, let me play
You may as well let me play
Let me play, yeah, let me play

A few kids later, a minivan and sports
You start to realize, that life is so short!
I've got work late, come home drunk
Looking to fight, why can't I see the light?
Why can't I see the light?
You say why can't I see the light?

I know I will let you down
By why not give me a try?
The worst that will happen
Is it's a waste of time
You've got nothing better to do anyways
You may as well let me play
May as well let me play
May as well let me play
You may as well, let me play
May as well let me play
May as well, let me play
Yeah, let me play
