I'm a color reporter
|
but the city's been bled white
|
and the doctor orders drinks all night to take away this curse
|
but it makes me feel much worse
|
bled white
|
so I wait for the f-train
|
and connect through a friend of mine
|
to a yesterdaydream
|
'cos I'll have to be high to drag the sunset down
|
and paint this paling town
|
bled white
|
so here he comes with the blank expression
|
especially for me 'cos he knows I feel the same
|
'cos happy and sad come in quick succession
|
I'm never going to become what you became
|
don't you dare disturb me
|
while I'm balancing my past
|
'cos you can't help or hurt me
|
like it already has
|
I may not seem quite right
|
but I'm not fucked, not quite
|
bled white
|
bled white
|
|
