Lyrics
Notorious
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.
I can't read about it
Burns the skin from your eyes
I'll do fine without it
Here's one you don't compromise
Lies come hard to disguise
Let me to fight it out
Not wild about it
Lay your seedy judgements
Who says they're part of our lives?
You own the money
You control the witness
I hear you're lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the profits to justify the reasons
I heard your promise
But I don't believe it
That's why I'll do it again
No no notorious
Girls will keep the secrets
So long as boys make the noise
Fools run rings to break up
Something they'll never destroy
Grand notorious slam
Bam!
And who really gives a damn
For a flaky bandit?
Don't ask me to bleed about it
I need this blood to survive
You own the money
You control the witness
I hear you're lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the profits to justify the reasons
I heard your promise
But I don't believe it
That's why I'll do it again
No no notorious
