Lyrics Cass McCombs – Confidence Man

I’m a confidence man
Piss down your back
Tell you it’s raining
A confidence man

These are your words
Use ’em in my favor
On the train, I pull your wallet
Feed it to a mule
You come at me with bloodshot eyes
Charging like a bull
I’m a confidence man
Not a confident man

Fall into the shadows
Some mug preaching ’bout humility
A confidence man

You nearly did a, «What? Who’s there?»
Nobody here but us chickens
Doesn’t matter, was a ruse anyway
Took your pants that time
I’m a sensitive man
Got the confidence to try

I know nothing about you
Yeah, you know everything about me

I’m not a confident man
They’re much more dangerous
Look at this man
Never questioning
Never failing
So he never learns
Look at him
I mean, watch his ass

He’s the kind of thief
That works in broad daylight
That never get caught
You give me the heebie-jeebies, sir
I’m a confidence man
Not a confident man

Oh, you made me
You abandoned me
These are your words
Use ’em in my favor
Gimme all your confidence
I’ll feed it to a mule
