Lyrics
Soft Rock Star
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.
Climb the walls to make the sun rise in time
But the night had already begun
Now here I am, I am the one
So hang high, soft star, don't shine for swine
Not a lot of room to move us, where is my guide?
I tried lookin' up to you, girls
Please correct me, but didn't you let the work slide?
Capitalise on a novelty, cheap pink spotlight.
Is it alright?
'Choose the highest bidder' was my answer
When they told me I was up for sale
School yard junior high style bullies
Have always tried to buy the better girls
But failed now; the check is in the mail
Bubble gumbo martini
Is nothing like deppaneur red wine
Travel through time
Who were you after you were mine?
'Choose the highest bidder' was my answer
When they told me i was up for sale
School yard junior high style bullies
Have always tried to buy the better girls,
Haven't they?
Choose the brightest future; mind the death
And try to buy the better girls, but failed till now
The check is in the mail
So hang high, soft rock star,
Don't shine before swine
'Choose the highest bidder' was my answer
When they told me i was up for sale
School yard junior high style bullies
Have always tried to buy the better girls,
Haven't they?
But failed now; the check is in the mail
