Glen Phillips & Toad Lyrics


Professional victim (Abulum)


It took five neighbors to get him in the hall (through the door)
Down the three flights of stairs and out the building’s door
I know that it’s easy to say that it couldn’t be worse
But now she’s in her apartment
Alone for the first time since the last jerk

Once you let them get to you it never washes off
‘Cause they can smell the weak ones and just
Pick you off like a pigeon
And each one is worst than the last one
Until you’re a professional victim

You get everything backwards learning how to survive
You treat the little wounds first and let the big ones fester for life
You’ve done it enough you would think that you know what you need
But it doesn’t get any better when you’ve got such an eye for the bad seed

Once you let them get to you it never washes off
‘Cause they can smell the weak ones and just
Pick you off like a pigeon
And each one is worst than the last one
Until you’re a professional victim

And if you take a look you can see the cracks
In the story told where the logic lacks
All the pretty girls and the stupid boys
Make the same mistakes until they’ve got no choice

Once you get the stink on you it never washes off
‘Cause they can smell the weak ones and just
Pick you off like a pigeon
And each one is worst than the last one
Until you’re a professional victim
