Bastard

[Part I: Not One of My Better Days]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Nighttime, turn around

Lonely is the city tonight

Nighttime, all around

Lonely in the city tonight

Grey people stare at a static sky (as you will)

Ours is not to question why

[Verse 2]

Same thing, every time

It always seems to need what I'm not

To all the hopeful ones:

Nobody gives a fuck what you've got...

I only wish that I could pray to God (but you will)

Stay longer, please don't leave me alone

[Chorus]

Bastard, mother, father, no...

Time passed quicker than you will ever know

And they can push me harder

But you know I will never go

And they will justify it

But you know, it will take them slow

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Bastard, mother, father, no...

Time passed quicker than you will ever know

And they can push me harder

But you know I will never go

And they will justify it

But you know, it will take them slow

[Instrumental Break]

[Part II: The Girl from Blue City]

[Verse 1]

The lights go out across the harbor

And the boys are out on the corners

Sex in the neon basements (red and smelly)

And don't feel a thing (it's too cold to worry)

So in the corner by the dock where there's no light

It smells like piss but no one knows

And right now just to sleep would be alright

[Verse 2]

Feel old, gone where the feelings go

Gone now in a field of green

Gone where feelings go...

[Instrumental Outro]
