Yeah! I'm losin' my English accent Think of all the changes you put me through, girl Back against the pit boss again And now I'm fencin' with him With just a fountain pen See I'm dead as a dog On these one-night stands And now I'm in these classes Just to be your man I just wanted my big toe In the soft, soft sand Now I'm neck deep in the quick, quick

So tell me are you ready For the bitter truth? Authenticity Trip Yes, 200-proof But I keep it in the cupboard By your baby tooth That your mom saved I think your mom is nice So tonight we're takin' a jet-plane 'round To somebody's house Out in the Hollywood Hills I said the Hollywood Hills Like I've been there before But I haven't in a while Or really at all

Go! Someday I'll win I'm not Ichabod Crane And though dark my days I'll say until then Someday I'll win I'm not Ichabod Crane So mark it down While I say it again

I'm stuck here In Bubble's of Teaneck Since you kicked me out It just seems like a good place to be Gonna get my head straight again With some guys with some time And some clothes that get cleaned We're dancin' in the window Like we like to dance Get a full head of steam In our waggled-up stance Cause tonight Sleepy Hollow's Just a few miles away With dramatic re-enactments And an overnight stay

Go! Someday I'll win I'm not Ichabod Crane And though dark my days I'll say until then

Someday I'll win I'm not Ichabod Crane So mark it down While I say it again

Someday I'll win I'm not Ichabod Crane And though dark my days I'll say until then

Someday I'll win I'm not Ichabod Crane So mark it down While I say it again
