Ready for Anything - Chris Thile

I forget the difference between being in love

And being familiar with something I hope I’m above.

Hear a lie enough and it cuts like the Gospel, when you’re half-awake,

no mistake is impossible.

I’m a child again, lost and happy in make-believe

But I’m lazy now, so someon’es pretending for me.

An untouchable man who holds his hand out to millions

Anyone can share his beautiful heroes and ugly villains

I spend a lot of time watching my TV, I take what they give me, and I give them

nothing

But I waste a lot of time watching my TV, they’ve got me right where they want

me, Ready for anything.

I forget the difference between being loved and being a loose-pocket,

worn-wallet, short-sighted friend to lift money off of.

Maybe I’m playing their game, so I can have a show where I stick 'em like a pig

one day --

Tell 'em they can go to Hell 'cause they don’t know another way …

Or maybe I’m here 'cause it’s something to do …

Still waters can run shallow too and I could watch myself run dry.

I forget the difference between being alive

And living through somebody else who’s acting out somebody else’s life.
