Death Cab for Cutie — Good Help Is So Hard to Find

[Verse 1] You'll never have to hear the word "no" If you keep all your friends on the payroll The non-disclosure pages signed Your secrets safe between those lines [Verse 2] The scaffolding will cheer and console you But remember what your mother told you That good help is so hard to find For people who are so refined [Pre-Chorus] You're trying to turn into the skid In this never-ending grid [Chorus] There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool gives it away [Verse 3] You said you wanna stake out your claim High above the city from where you came Don't you know the air's so thin? It starves the brain of oxygen [Verse 4] I know it's such a dangerous place For there are more ascensions than there is space Angels causing accidents The camera phones'll document [Pre-Chorus] But if I start to levitate Pull me down with all your weight [Chorus] There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool gives it away [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] You're trying to turn into the skid In this never-ending grid But you should know it's not ideal All those hands upon the wheel [Chorus] There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool would give Only a fool gives this away
