Villainy
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 want to start again
Sunsets, new babbling man
Holding my sign
Manhattan on the rocks
Red handed, never caught
But hoping you'll try
Mine is a chrome palace
Lost in Los Angeles
I know that I'll make it through
I want to start again
My crime fits the punishment
Wasting my time
Remember at the board Laura throwing darts
You're holding it together while you're torn apart
Forcing a smile
Mine is a chrome palace
Lost in Los Angeles
I know that I'll make it through
Mine is a chrome palace
Islands and old ballads
Shining like brand new
It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust
Step out into the sun
It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust
Step out into the sun
It takes a moment for
For your eyes to adjust
Step out into the sun
Uh
I want to start again
Sunsets, new babbling man
Holding my sign
Manhattan on the rocks
Red handed, never caught
But hoping you'll try
