Lyrics
Golden Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When was it promised to be good?
When did the sunlight turn to gold?
When I'm halfway around the sun
With a hash pipe and a machine gun
Oh lord, shoot me
Oh lord, shoot me, soon
True beauty always has a cost
Self-reflection always shows a loss
And the mirror begins to suck
As the ego becomes unstuck
And you drink and you dance and fuck
And you use up your allotted luck
Beautifully self-absorbed
Throw all your friends overboard
We were halfway out the mud
When the levee released the flood
And the water turned into blood
Failing promises made a thud.
