Lyrics
Prince Charming
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.
There's a black cloud overhead
That's me
And the poison ivy chokes the tree
Again it's me
I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street
You walk on by
I'm the little boy that pushes hard
And makes it cry
There's a dirty needle in your child
Haha, stick me
Empty bottles still in hand, still dead
Still me
I'm the suit and tie that breaks the street
And still wants more
I'm the forty-five that's in your mouth
I'm a dirty, dirty whore
Yeah
Look, it's me
The one who can't be free
Much too young to focus
But too old to see
Hey
Look, it's me
When no one wants to see
See what you brought this world
Just what you wanna see
Hey ma
Hey ma, look, it's me
Yeah
He wants to become father now
Me again, me
The marks inside your arms spell me
Spell only me
I'm the nothing face that plants a bomb
And strolls away
I'm the one who doesn't look quite right
As children play
Yeah
Look, it's me
The one who can't be free
Much too young to focus
But too old to see
Hey
Look, it's me
When no one wants to see
See what you brought this world
Just what you wanna see
Hey ma
Hey ma, look, it's me
It's me
Look up to me
What you've been and what you've feared
Look up to me
Look, it's me, what you hear
See right through me
See the one who can't be free
See right through me
Look it's me when no one wants to see
Hey, hey, hey
Hm, now see the black cloud overhead
That's me
Hm, and this poison ivy chokes the tree
Again it's me
And I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street
You walk on by
And I'm the little boy that pushes, pushes
Makes it cry
Yeah
Look, it's me
The one who can't be free
Much too young to focus
But too old to see
Hey, hey
Look, it's me
When no one wants to see
See what you brought this world
Just what you wanna see
Hey ma
Hey ma, look, it's me
Yeah
It's me
Hey ma
Hey ma, look it's me
See right though me
Look up to me
See right though me
Look up to me
