CHEVELLE
"Shot From A Cannon"
(Chevelle / Pete Loeffler)

Ten minutes in he's sweating
Should I have asked for more than fame?
Ignore that beast, he's smiling
It's not 'til next New Year's Eve

Wish I could get that list
Yes, I would burn that list
Down he goes

[Chorus:]
Set him down to a real life failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come round
Dead last with a drumroll when the dam blows

The dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows

Quit blaming unending
Eliminate the results
Just blame me already
Then try in vain to be close

But these nerves are spent
Yes, these nerves are spent!

[Chorus:]
Set him down to a real life failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come round
Dead last with a drumroll when the dam blows

The dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows

[Bridge:]
Hand it down (hand it down)
It's your failure, it's your fail!

[Chorus:]
Set him down to a real life failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come around
Dead last with a drumroll when the dam blows

When the dam blows
When the dam blows
When the dam blows
