lyrics

She handed me a wrap an said boy you got talent, but instead of getting out there, you're sat here being nothing.
Yeah I'm poor as F, that I'm living off handouts, but I'd rather be flat out, than sell my guitars.
Jack called her a bitch, said she always getting drugged up, I said she's never been loved much, don't we all need love?
An Jack says he drinks out of boredom more than sadness,
I think maybe they're related,
Cos' no one's bored that much.

It's a funny world, don't know if I love or hate myself,
She says I'm just like my dad,
He sucks at love as well.
Ah well.

We took off in my car, Sean said he knew a cool place, with some stuff to help us talk straight, chemicals in my brain.
We talked of God and we talked of our mothers, he said I know how much they love us, but I'm a cynic on faith.

It's a cheap parody, coupla druggies an a coupla thieves,
But mother loves her young,
She says you mean the world to me.

I still wake up lonely, next to a woman I love,
I can be the devil and I can be holy, it’s all in my heart.
and I’ll make you happy, with a million masks,
cos I am your devil, I am your holy, I’m whatever you want.
