Lyrics
Cry Baby, Cry
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.
One of these nights you wait and see
One of these nights you're gonna realize
The way your pride comes at a cost
Leaving you short on sympathy
Where is the evidence you need to know
You're better off than the rest
Given attention more than touch
Over the time it's nothing much to show
Keeping it all together
Seems like forever
One of these days you'll kiss and tell
It's in the mirror, gonna spill it out
Whatever do you know, what do you, do you know?
A selfish obsession, a fake suicide
You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes
They're fading and that makes you
Cry Baby Cry
But it ain't gonna kill you now
Can you depend on your champagne
Socialist friends to drop your name in their
(questionable) Four Viper supernova rides
however great they claim to be
only betrays their insecurity--yeah
See how they fall from those highs
Afraid of dragons in the smoke
Gonna go rehab but that's a joke
It's getting old don't tell them all we've heard it
before
You're welcome to celebrity
Doing the thing so famously
Must wear your reputation wrong, it must be such a bore
A selfish obsession, a fake suicide
You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes
They're fading and that makes you
Cry Baby Cry
But it ain't gonna kill you now
Cry Baby Cry
Cry Baby Cry
Chorus
A selfish obsession, a fake suicide
You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes
They're fading and that makes you
Cry Baby Cry
But it ain't gonna kill you now
It does make you stronger, yeah
Cry Baby Cry
Cry Baby Cry
Cry Baby Cry
Cry Baby Cry
