Sinister Kid
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.
Uh
Well the crooks are out
And the streets are grey
You know I wouldn't have it
Any other way
Yeah
Your mother's words
They're ringin still
But your mother
Don't pay our bills
Yeah
A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his maker
A child that's sprinting
The day he is born
Straight into his maker's arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be
I've got a tortured mind
And my blade is sharp
A bad combination
In the dark
If I kill a man
In the first degree
Baby would you
Would you flee with me?
Yeah
A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his maker
A child that's sprinting
The day he is born
Straight into his maker's arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be
Alright
A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his maker
A child that's sprinting
The day he is born
Straight into his maker's arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be
