• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

You pushed me overboard then refused to give your hand
You pushed me off that ledge and never showed me where to land
Your eyes look away when we're deep in conversation
Who are you looking for? And what's on your mind?
Just tell me if you don't want me around

I'm tired of dragging after you and showing up in dirt
What started out as just a lark has left me feeling burnt
Seared by the first flush of something new
But now it's old and tarnished and yellowed with age
And you've put me aside and turned the page

And my rage will keep me going, my rage is the thing that knows
I won't be here anymore for you even if you decide you want me to
And you will
'Cause I'm better than that and I ain't waiting around
I'll see you in the big time baby, if you ever get there baby

Think you can keep me round on a string, dangling by my neck
Think you can keep me in suspense just a substitute in your quintet
Where'd you ever get the notion I'd be fine being left behind
When we both know baby, I'm the best you'll ever find
And just try to keep me out of your mind

And my rage will keep me going my rage is the thing that knows
I won't be here anymore for you, even if you decide you want me to
And you will
'Cause I'm better than that and I ain't waiting around
I'll see you in the big time baby, if you ever get there baby

And you tell me you don't like fake anger in women
But you sure do a number on the one's you're with
Say you've dated psychos and drunks but I'm not one of them
And you didn't take the time to bother to find out
Didn't even care what I was all about
Well now I say 'fuck you' I'm travelling on
Sayonara baby, see me know I'm gone

You pushed me overboard then refused to give your hand
You pushed me off that ledge and never showed me where to land
Know that it's convenient you say you'll take me out to lunch
But I've lost my appetite for you, you're no longer the flavor of the month
And thank god I'm so much stronger than I thought

And my rage will keep me going, my rage is the thing that knows
I won't be here anymore for you even if you decide you want me to
And you will
'Cause I'm better than that and I ain't waiting around
I'll see you in the big time baby, if you ever get there baby
