Poor Substitute Lyrics by Ricked Wicky

Swimmer to a Liquid Armchair

2015

Should you like a part­time servant
I'm a poor substitute
If it's a warrior you want
Or Utopian lifeguard
Let's talk inside

How many times
How many tries
Takes before I
Open your eyes

To a poor substitute

Trust me
Though I'll never have the Midas touch
A cloud with silver lining
Isn't quite as much

Try me a beast of burden
I'll be more than qualified
If it's a trumpeter you want
The walls ain't gonna fall down
Anytime

It's a hard climb
And I'm not up there yet

For what I want
And what you get

I'm a poor substitute

I know I'm a poor substitute
