i used to write whatever went on in my brain
one day i tried to read it all again
i had to throw all that rubbish in the bin
oh i've been leadin' with my chin
i've been leadin' with my chin
the dice can roll, the wheel can spin
i'm out of the game, i can't win
i've been leadin' with my chin
the days got shorter, it was getting me down
and i got tired of hangin' around
so i took a plane and left Berlin
oh, i've been leadin' with my chin
you were waiting for me in bed
and i spent hours at the bar instead
chain-smoking and drinking gin
i've been leading with my chin
