Tall Tales Lyrics

Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
There is no other fire-eater who can a-do this-a trick
Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
Young man, watch the acrobats, notice how they walk the tightrope
Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
Trappers get slain, rappers tell tall tales
Do the math again, claim that the name won't sell

I never needed surgery, but see these nerves put me here in this infirmary
And kind words have a funny way of irkin' me

Clockin' every dime that I'm spending
I don't think my mind'll forgive it
Problem is the time that I'm spending
Clockin' every dime, clockin' every dime
Problem is the time

Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
Trappers get slain, rappers tell tall tales
Do the math again, claim that the name won't sell

Kool-Aid, get your Kool-Aid
I just cut my finger
Uh, this is Kool-Aid, you want First Aid, turn left
Step right up, okay okay, come on
