Stand Back by Joan Osborne
Stand Back lyrics
I need a Ken doll pilot
with a sexy smile and a flying limousine
To pick me up, go the extra mile
and deliver me to the scene
I need five more hours in the average day
One to get the work done, four to play
Be a devil and angel
You know what I mean?
Stand back
Out of my way
Stand back
You're crowding my day
No time for good manners, do what I say
If you're not here to help
then you're just in the way
The road is littered with the faint of heart,
the fools who fell from stress
It's a fact of life that you can't catch up,
better learn how to love the mess
So I'll just kick back, ignore the noise,
have my way with the pretty boys,
What I dream at night
don't even try to guess
Stand back
Stand back
Out of my way
Stand back
Stand back
You're crowding my day
Now this is my time
to step up to the mike
Like rock'n'roll lightning
I'm ready to strike
Stand back
Stand back
Oh
Stand back
My reputation in the neighbourhood
is that I do my best when I'm up to no good
If you know me at all there's one thing you should have learned
Get close enough to me you'll be blistered or burned
Stand back
Out of my way
Stand back
You're crowding my day
Stand back
OH
Stand back
Stand Back
Stand Back
