On The Rim Watch yourself Your out on your knees Your hands are lost Your belly is your only power and searching is not an option Block and tackle The pully then the pully then the pully Way back the twine; now the cable,; the rope for you; the slightly up, the dip The leverage of the third hand of the weight So you do not leave anything go Even an upside down cross, is not good For what you must not let slip through your hands now
