Such a pretty girl
|
The anger didn't hide it
|
You shaved your head, pulled a face
|
Dressed yourself up without grace
|
|
It didn't hide a lifetime's damage
|
It didn't hide a lifetime's fears
|
|
Against your better judgement
|
You put your whole self up for sale
|
The horror show when you were young
|
We couldn't wait to hear about it
|
|
But even whores
|
Don't kiss with tongues
|
Nonetheless I do believe
|
You cry real tears

|
The wrong side of a lifetime's drinking
|
It's where it seems I'm coming from
|
I took my demons by the hand
|
Bent them, twisted them
|
Until they scanned and rhymed
|
|
And I took your love
|
And all the hurt inside
|
Laid it out on the market stall
|
Agony at a knockdown price
|
Reduced to clear is what I cry
|
|
The wrong side of a lifetime's wishful thinking
|
Dragged me here to pills and ale
|
Come and listen
|
Come and listen to my tale
|
Come and get it
