I Quit - Brendan Benson

I’ve been fighting the good fight

Just trying to get it right

And I was onto something good

Somewhere in the neighborhood

Every time I try to make it good, I make it worse

Get the Engine running, but I put it in reverse

And half the time I lose the plot and I can’t see the point of it

And if that’s all to a fire, then I quit

There I was in the Headlights

Mesmerized by the mirror sight

There was this time I had it made

I got lucky in my early days

But I feel fine, it’s a fine day

And I’ve got green lights all the way

I wanna know what it’s all about

And you can bet that I’m sure gonna find out

Every time I try to make it good, I make it worse

Get the Engine running, but I put it in reverse

I always want it less and less the closer I get

If that’s all there is to a fire, then I quit

Run run rabbit run until you drop

Don’t slow down, don’t ever stop

Tell me where have all the artists gone?

They’ve moved on cause the feeling’s gone

Every time I try to make it good, I make it worse

Get the Engine running, but I put it in reverse

You’re gonna wake up someday and wonder if this is it

And if that’s all there is to a fire, then I quit

Every time I try to make it good, I make it worse

Get the Engine running, but I put it in reverse

Half the time I lose the plot and I can’t see the point of it

And if that’s all to a fire, then I quit
