lyrics

Love to the wicked and the barbers hold
Lost and you’re rotten but your cards are folded
As far as I can see you are alright
But the new sound record is a 45

The new sound record is a 45
You’re no good dead so you stay alive
With your goddamn wreckage and your attitude
Here’s your soul and your preppy shoes
Yes and I prefer the plans we had

Chorus:
It'll tear your eyes
It'll tear your lies
It'll tear your eyes
It'll tear your eyes out.

The grocer speaks with menaced eyes.
The country weeps while I’m alright.
You take another chance on the slot machine.
You break another heart but your hands are clean.

I stepped off this ferris wheel,
Threw a coin to the worker just make the deal.
Yes I took the lead of the freak parade
Without another word I could make you stay.
Yes and I prefer the plans we had

Chorus

Yes and I know life gets lonesome for a go.
Yes and I know life gets wild that’s for sure.
When all you ever want to do is f*@%
But there’s so much more to love.
There’s so much more to love.

Chorus

No good dead you stay alive
you're lost and rotten
cards are folded
I know life gets wild, wild
you're no good dead,
you tear your eyes out.
