Gum on My Shoe

A bought myself a puzzle, a thousand pieces make a ship
But now it's sunk, 'cause I can't seem to make the pieces fit
I spend all night-and-day I try to force them into place
Staring into mother's eyes with gum stuck on my face

I built a better mouse-trap, try to catch a smarter rat
The rats that seem to win the race are eating better trash
Seems it's all become a game that others never lose
Walking into mother's house with gum stuck on my shoe

Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (Falling on my way)

I try, and try, and try, and then I try again for kicks
'Cause I'm the centerfielder that my own father never picks
I bought the game and learned the rules and still I always lose
Walking over mother's face with gum stuck on my shoe

Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)

Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way!)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way!)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way!)
Everyday! (I'm falling on my way!)
