[Intro] Tap shoes Dusty floor Dealer grins Says “you sure?” [Verse 1] Flip that coin Watch it spin and stagger Chasing luck In a crooked jacket Little white tail Just a blur in traffic Reach once It slips right past you [Chorus] ’Cause the rabbit don’t come easy Won’t sit still in your hands Always ten steps out of reach Always darting through your plans You can bait it, beg it, tease it Dress your hunger up as need But the rabbit don’t come easy And it won’t slow down for me [Verse 2] Stacked deck Crooked smile from the mirror Every “this time” Only makes it clearer Every shortcut Just another detour Every sure thing Slips through the trapdoor (oh-oh) [Chorus] ’Cause the rabbit don’t come easy Won’t sit still in your hands Always ten steps out of reach Always darting through your plans You can bait it, beg it, tease it Dress your hunger up as need But the rabbit don’t come easy And it won’t slow down for me [Bridge] [Beat drops to clap and bass] I run, it runs faster (hey!) I wait, it stays gone I swear I’ve almost had it But “almost” never lasts long So I dance with my disasters Toast the tricks they play on me Raise a glass to what I’m chasing And the chase that sets me free (oh yeah) [Chorus] ’Cause the rabbit don’t come easy Won’t sit still in your hands Always ten steps out of reach Always darting through your plans You can bait it, beg it, tease it Argue want is really need But the rabbit don’t come easy And I think it’s what I need
