Barenaked Ladies Piece of Cake song lyrics

Trying to get away

From banging on the tabletops, screaming at the top of my lungs

Did it in a day

When any other person would have taken off for most of a month

Then I had to pay

I was shaking from the aftershocks, never thought I'd steady again

Now I'm going grey

J. Jonah's got a doppelganger playing in his own rock band

It was piece of cake

But making cake's not easy

Sometimes the one you take

Can make a mess as we'll see

Never wanted out

I was leaning on the door when the whole thing fell to the ground

Thought I was about

To make it go away and maybe tuck it where it's safe and sound

If ever you're in doubt

You never want to cut twice never having measured at all

Had to leave it out

‘Cause whether I had wanted to never really mattered in the freefall

It was piece of cake

But making cake's not easy

Sometimes the one you take

Can make a mess as we'll see

Everybody knows, but no one knows what went wrong

So the story grows; you never let truth get in the way of a good song

It was piece of cake

But making cake's not easy

Sometimes the one you take

Can make a mess as we'll see

It was piece of cake

But making cake's not easy

Sometimes the one you take

Can make a mess as we'll see
