Ezra Furman and the Harpoons

Bad Man
Beauty is a drug and it's coursing through my veinsI sit at home staring at your picture while my colleagues discuss capital gainsThis love's just a cloud of cigarette smokeBlows away on the wind but it stays in your throatAnd the coughing is worse than ever these daysYou walk into the room and I can't look up at youAll my concentrated efforts added up to one big thing I never meant to doMy heart's been misfiled by the U.S. Postal ServiceAll these people with their expectations make me so nervousAnd people like them could never be like people like youYou're too bright for me, I'm too dumb for youIn the night I see your face in the moonYou're the one who stands rock-solid in the shifting sandsAnd I'm a bad, bad man with a place in my heart for youI got to the place where secret things are soldThunder in the distance and it sounds like it's a million years oldI see your hair like a waterfall fallingFeel like a long drunk in the parking lot bawlingAnd I don't know how this house got so incredibly coldI can't explain it and nobody cares to knowLong-dead women call my name from deep inside my radioI set surrounded by my money and my glorySongtexteNumbly re-telling my little pointless life storyAnd the chandeliers winked as if to say, "We know"And I've confessed all my sinsI'm just the type who never ever winsAnd I pray to God every weekendI fit it inAnd I've kept you waiting so longBut everything's gonna be different when I finish this songAnd I know myself better than anyoneWho's to say I'm wrong?
