When you're the last one to know
|
what everybody knows
|
shame falls down
|
When you're the last one to see
|
what everybody sees
|
shame falls down
|
like rain falls down
|
|
Life Is Messy
|
It's starting to repress me
|
Time and time again
|
I think I'm gonna win
|
and it blows up in my face
|
|
When your last hope is gone
|
and you're feelin so unable
|
shame falls down
|
When your heart won't open up
|
and there's love left on the table
|
fame falls down
|
like rain falls down
|
|
Life Is Messy
|
It's starting to distress me
|
They sell it in the press??
|
They smell it on your breath
|
but you keep on comin clean
|
Life Is Messy
|
|
I don't wanna go back home
|
The streets are lined in rubble
|
A heart that's made of stone
|
can lead you into trouble
|
|
Life Is Messy
|
It's trying to depress me
|
They can kick you in the nuts
|
They can hit you where it hurts
|
Don't get down on your knees
|
|
Life Is Messy
|
I feel like Elvis Presley
|
At a very early age
|
They put you in a cage
|
and they push you out on stage
|
Life Is Messy
|
