I'll take you at your word
  and as far as I can throw you
  leave you with the baby
  and I hardly even know you
  it's gut check time for daddy
  when it's loaded and unlocked
  got to go in to press some skin
  and leave it gleaming in the dock
  would you watch her for me sir?
  I'll have to take you at your word...
  
  
  I read up on the stallions
  marked an X inside the box
  I just want the strong one
  not the one who counts and talks
  and if you roll the sleeves up on your shirt
  I'll take you at your word
  
  
  doc's flicking at the barrel
  with the needle to the sky
  got me counting backwards
  as it sinks into my thigh
  you said you'd cut me good
  and I'll have to take you at your word...
  
  
  I trust in my abilities
  but I want more than they offer
  working then gambling like the cycle of water
  it's harder to breathe as you're raising the stakes
  move, bubble, rise, rain and evaporate
  
  
  not an atom left to hold me
  medicated on the bus
  I'm sleeping soundly as we're swerving
  but the driver's not I trust
  c'mon Big Bopper c'mon Buddy
  get in the chopper
  hope your boots aren't muddy
  she's an airworthy bird
  I'll have to take you at your word...
  
  
  I trust you to be on it
  completely bonded and stone cold honest
  sure
