Shame For The Bad Boy
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.
Now you found that open doorway
Everyone could see a wall
Well, you should've listened to yourself
When you knew you'd got it all
There's a shadow at the roadside
Still waiting for you there, yeah, yeah
Well, it's everybody's daydream
But the nightmare always comes
Well, you got your invitation young
Didn't walk, you had to run
One day looks like sunshine
Next day there'll be rain, yeah, yeah
You're a shooting star
In electric skies
And your scarlet tears
In a young girl's eyes
Well, it's a shame for the bad boy
Shame for the bad boy
Read in the news, going to drive all night
Never see the morning light
It's a shame for the bad boy
Got a look of sweet perfection
Mirrored in your face
Pictures of a worried man
You were always out of place
Pushed it to the limit
Didn't seem to care, yeah, yeah
Doing eighty-five
In the westbound lane
Five fifty-nine
Will never be the same
Well, it's a shame for the bad boy
Shame for the bad boy
Now you're going to shine, burn so bright
Now you're going to lose your life
It's a shame for the bad boy
You're a shooting star
In electric skies
And your scarlet tears
In a young girl's eyes
Well, it's a shame for the bad boy
Shame for the bad boy
Now you're going to shine, burn so bright
Now you're going to lose your life
It's a shame for the bad boy
Well, it's a shame for the bad boy
Shame for the bad boy
Read in the news, going to drive all night
Never see the morning light
It's a shame for the bad boy
