Be Like That Songtext
von Tsunami

Hold the bat straight out
Not like a pointer or a weapon
It′s more like a guardrail
Few steps back sets up his new profile
And the wall stretches out on both sides like a movie screen
So he closes his stretching eyes and sets out the scenery

Could it be like that?
Could it be like that?

He's got a bigger gut than most of his friends
And it′s true that I barely even know the man
But he stirs up those great expectations
Like the ones that let run off at the mouth
So he's the one with all the invitations
But he'll never get up off the couch


Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that all the time?

And there′s a place he reserves
For the plans that didn′t hold
And it's bigger than and old-time skating rink
Twice as cold
And he pastes up the quotes from old yearbooks
Fixing the faces to the names
Pleading his own bitter fortunes
By the light of his friends′ brightest flames

Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that?
Why you wanna be like that all the time?

He's got a bigger gut than most of his friends
He′s got a bigger gut than most of his friends
He's got a bigger gut than most of his friends
He′s got twice the guts of most of his
