Should you like a part­time servant

I'm a poor substitute

If it's a warrior you want

Or Utopian lifeguard

Let's talk inside

How many times

How many tries

Takes before I

Open your eyes

To a poor substitute

Trust me

Though I'll never have the Midas touch

A cloud with silver lining

Isn't quite as much

Try me a beast of burden

I'll be more than qualified

If it's a trumpeter you want

The walls ain't gonna fall down

Anytime

It's a hard climb

And I'm not up there yet

For what I want

And what you get

I'm a poor substitute

I know I'm a poor substitute
