Confidence Man - Cass McCombs

I’m a confidence man

Piss down your back

Tell you it’s raining

A confidence man

Reigning like a queen

Like anyone else

Everyone expected to be queen

Which is more possible,

For it to rain piss,

Or a kaleidoscope of queens?

A confidence man

These are your words

Use 'em in my favor

On the train, I pull your wallet

Feed it to a mule

You come at me with bloodshot eyes

Charging like a bull

I’m a confidence man

Not a confident man

Fall into the shadows

Some mug preaching 'bout humility

A confidence man

You nearly did a, «What?

Who’s there?»

Nobody here but us chickens

Doesn’t matter, was a ruse anyway

Took your pants that time

I’m a sensitive man

Got the confidence to try

I know nothing about you

Yeah, you know everything about me

If I reveal any more

I’ll just be a spy

I’m a confidence man

Not a confident man

I’m not a confident man

They’re much more dangerous

Look at this man

Never questioning

Never failing

So he never learns

Look at him

I mean, watch his ass

He’s the kind of thief

That works in broad daylight

That never get caught

You give me the heebie-jeebies, sir

I’m a confidence man

Not a confident man

Oh, you made me

You abandoned me

These are your words

Use 'em in my favor

Gimme all your confidence

I’ll feed it to a mule
