Lyrics
Well I was wrestling with Goliath and it surprised me when I found
I hardly had to make an effort then I had him to the ground
But it was no time to celebrate; in fact it made me sad
Invincible Goliath has lost what he once had
Well Goliath was an able man; you should have seen him in his prime
Well he was just a kid back then, but the boy was ahead of his time
He used to be so confident, he was everybody's host
Now he spends his days locked in a room, exorcising ghosts
And we take one step forward and a great leap back
Oh God don't roll that dice
You've got to cut us some slack
"Let's put the screamer on" - that's what they said
Goliath's next to me, how come his head is red?
"Let's put the screamer on" - that's what they said
You'd better hurry up, Goliath's almost dead
Well Goliath went to hibernate; he didn't wake up for a while
And David lost his innocence; no wonder Mary doesn't smile
Jesus do you magic trick, Goliath can not walk
But I've got a tougher test for you: you should hear the poor boy talk
When Goliath opened up his eyes the world appeared so strange
Giant puppies running past - now everything must change
His powers gone he felt so weak; the smallest rock he could not lift
He pinched his skin: "Take me out of here, won't you Mr. Swift?"
And we take one step forward and a great leap back
Oh God don't roll that dice
You've got to cut us some slack
"Let's put the screamer on" - that's what they said
Goliath's next to me, how come his head is red?
"Let's put the screamer on" - that's what they said
You'd better hurry up, Goliath's almost dead
His dreams were shattered, all hope was gone; he fought hard to get back
He made it to the highest grade, but he never got back on track
No he never got back on track
But Goliath, it's okay
It doesn't matter what they say
What you've done, no one can do
Let's fight the giants just me and you
"Let's put the screamer on" - that's what they said
Goliath's next to me, how come his head is red?
"Let's put the screamer on" - that's what they said
You'd better hurry up...
