Week 11b - No Way Steve (200311)

from Song A Week, Volume 5 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Call him No Way Steve can't seem to get it right
No Way Steve stuck on the other side
Got no way in got no way out
No way to turn his luck around
Yeah No Way Steve just can't be satisfied

Call him No Way Steve never had a lucky day
No Way Steve all used up and thrown away
Last man standing, God forbid
Couldn't win but never quit
No Way Steve fightin' like a renegade

Call him No Way Steve somewhere out there in the dark
No Way Steve with tinfoil brains and a paper heart
Black as asphalt, both his lungs
He's lightin' up another one
No Way Steve some kinda' twisted work of art

Call him No Way Steve buried in a pile o' dirt
No Way Steve singin' like a mockingbird
Feathers all messed up, couple broken bones
With a voice like a megaphone
No Way Steve gonna' sing 'til it hurts

Call him No Way Steve busted up and broken down
No Way Steve tippin' over fallin' out
With nothin' left to read or write
No just a big old hole inside
Yeah No Way Steve headed nowhere anyhow
