In The Way - Lyrics - Barstool Prophets

The Barstool Prophets were a rock band formed in Cornwall, Ontario in 1989 that was active throughout the 1990s. The members were bassist Glenn Forrester, singer songwriter Graham Greer, guitarist Al Morier, and drummer Bobby Tamas. Originally known as the Wallflowers, the band changed its name in time to release its first independent album, Deflowered, in 1993. The band soon signed to Mercury Records and released Crank in 1995 and Last of the Big Game Hunters in 1997. Crank was recorded at Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Ontario. The single "Paranoia" was included on the soundtrack to the Antonio Banderas Rebecca De Mornay film Never Talk to Strangers. The singles "Paranoia", "Last of the Big Game Hunters" and "Friend of Mine" were all Canadian rock radio hits in the mid-late 1990s.

In the Way I can't watch this play again Too many times I've stayed the pen Always hoping that someone would yell "Stop" And make the arm drop lame But no one came Still the show would carry on Stripping away the false icon While we would stand there stupid Watching and waiting, waiting and watching; dumb Our brain-stems numb It could have been something in their eyes Maybe it was something in the way he smiled It could have been nothing. Who's to say? Maybe there was something in my way And later on I heard him say "What the hell is wrong with kids today?" I didn't have the nerve to Tell him thought heredity was to blame For more than the blood in their veins It could have been something in their eyes Maybe I was something in the way he smiled It could have been nothing. Who's to say? Maybe there was something in my way But I can't think that way No, I can't think that way I can't watch this play again But if I don't stop this soon I don't know who will or when It's like I've gotten stagefright Paralyzed, waiting for some white knight That's nowhere in sight I could have been something there eyes Maybe it was something in the way he smiled It could have been nothing. Who's to say? Maybe there was something in my way Maybe there was something in my way Maybe there was something in my way In my way
