Lyrics

King City

I wanna be everything that I'm not I wanna be rich, I wanna show off Just a desperado, with a sour twist It'll all come sweet on your lips 'Cause I'm in love, so old Put your flowers down, it's too cold Fuck your romance, I wanna pretend That Jenny Lee Lindberg is my girlfriend With the sun on my back it's a nice day I will never ch-choose any other way With the sun on my back it's a nice day I will never ch-choose any other way I need to come home to see my friends I need to come down to feel insane I know I'm not cool right now I'm as high as a fool, I'm outta sight now 'Cause I'm in love, so old Put your flowers down, it's too cold Fuck your romance, I wanna pretend That Jenny Lee Lindberg is my girlfriend With the sun on my back it's a nice day I will never ch-choose any other way With the sun on my back it's a nice day I will never ch-choose any other way With the sun on my back it's a nice day I will never ch-choose any other way With the sun on my back it's a nice day I will never ch-choose any other way
