I'm A Pretty Showboy Songtext
I’m living a lie, babe, don’t mind me
I’m living a lie, babe, young and free
Oh, Jesus Christ, this vision I cannot shift
Of a self-made man in a state of grace
With a mind like a weeping cyst
Have you got my milk for me?
And a teaspoon of honey?
The first little taste is always free
But if you want a full belly better get on your knees
I’m living a lie, babe, young and free
Oh, Jesus Christ, this vision I cannot shift
Of a self-made man in a state of grace
With a mind like a weeping cyst
Have you got my milk for me?
And a teaspoon of honey?
The first little taste is always free
But if you want a full belly better get on your knees
Get on your knees, brother get on your knees, get on your knees!
(Oh, yeah)
I’m living a lie, babe, don’t mind me
I’m living a lie, babe, young and free
Each time I cry it feels better than the last
I could have been someone better than the last
But I seem to slip away
At the close of every day
I left the womb just yesterday
Somehow I have lost my way
Where did I go, baby, where did I go, where did I go?
Nowhere
That’s alright
Oh, what is the word?
For to need, to seem, to glimpse? Every breath is wasted
All is vanity
But I’m a pretty showboy
I don’t want to be free
(Oh, yeah)
I’m living a lie, babe, don’t mind me
I’m living a lie, babe, young and free
Each time I cry it feels better than the last
I could have been someone better than the last
But I seem to slip away
At the close of every day
I left the womb just yesterday
Somehow I have lost my way
Where did I go, baby, where did I go, where did I go?
Nowhere
That’s alright
Oh, what is the word?
For to need, to seem, to glimpse? Every breath is wasted
All is vanity
But I’m a pretty showboy
I don’t want to be free
