Burgie's, Basics and You
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 am stupid you are perfect,
I am danger you are safe,
I've been drinking from this bottle for at least a couple of days
Everytime you walk in our room angels blindly follow you
You are kind and sincere but so few
Take me downtown to the gutter
where I am one step away
but we're makin enough money to make my daughters feel safe
I have ruined all the good things in my life but there you are,
stay with me, I am built from all your parts
And I don't recall the first time that I locked my eyes with yours
but I remember seeing in double outside the liquor store,
there were two of you so beautiful I couldn't even talk
I tried to sweep you off your feet but you couldn't walk
Let's get back now to the present where you're living in a world
where you don't want me for comfort you just need your little girls
that's ok cause I am looking but I don't have such a see
maybe I cannot change me cause I am me
And you do not love the person that you met that sunny day
I am no longer on your path but it seems i'm in your way
there were two of you so beautiful I couldn't even talk
I tried to sweep you off your feet but you couldn't walk
I tried to sweep you off your feet but you couldn't walk
