Vic Chesnutt - Until The Led Lyrics

Knowing what I know now
I should've had a cow
I didn't realize
You were to be despised

I must have been
One of history's stupidest men
'cause everything was perfect in my head
Until the lead started hitting me

With benefit of hindsight
I can see your ass wasn't right
Maybe I'm mighty dull
But you're pathological

I never guessed
You meant no, when you said yes
Everything was perfect in my head
Until the lead started hitting me

It didn't take long at all
Until the zen started to to fall
All of the people you faked
Suddenly saw their mistake

You never thought
That I could survive the shock
Everything was perfect in my head
Until the lead started hitting me
