I earned a mouthful of blood with some words I said.
Might’ve lost a fight, but never lost my head.
If there’s poison in my drink I’ve got no complaints.
Cut my teeth on nothing less than a fool’s blind faith.
I’ve got an atheist lover, she’s my favourite kind.
She runs a hundred miles an hour towards the finish line.
I heard her say, “Baby, you and me, oh we’re a world-class mess,
And I’ll die in a dancehall wearing my favourite dress.”
If I can manage to age gracefully.
Well, I won’t worry too much about the coming night.
Gotta be faster than the hell hounds chasing me.
I’ll drown in a wave of neon lights.
Some people have money, some are lucky in love.
Some folks would murder for control of the heavens above.
Well, I don’t want the piss poor luck of a Kennedy.
So I took aim and shot the horse out from under me.
Educated on a dime that I haven’t paid back.
For a guaranteed dream in a brown paper bag.
When the words lost meaning and the meaning was a lie.
I sold that dream beneath the neon lights.
If I can manage to live patiently.
Well, I won’t worry ‘bout living underneath the knife.
You might serve someone, but I’m damn sure free.
So I can drown in the wave of the neon lights.
So I can drown in the wave of the neon lights.
I won’t toe the line, I’m a bad man.
I won’t toe the line, I’m a bad man.
I won’t toe the line, cause I’m a bad man.
