The Outskirts

Young and attractive
 Quote unquote old soul
 Down in a cold hole
 Playing my controlled roll
 The world is mine good and bad
 I never sleep, Odd charms
 Firetrucks and squad cars, struggling in God's arms
 Tempted and restless, blood in my arteries
 Floods in the armouries
 Drugs are a part of me
 Circus in fun time, surface in sunshine
 Brush your teeth, don't believe
 So much darkness underneath
 Parties and funerals, nurseries and graveyards
 Lotteries, robberies an old couple plays cards
 Company, visitors, frequency, rise on,
 Weekends, a sequence of secrets and lies
 Oddities, prodigies, fireworks, parades for me
 Same story, all my decisions are made for me
 Reading from loose leaf, mislead and seduce me
 I'm so full of love and bleeding profusely
 (refrain)
 Concrete and steel I remember these drums
 A chill in the air, in september she comes
 Pretty and sad, trying not to cry, trying not to cry so, pretty and so sad
 X2
 These are my telephone poles, my dark trenches, my broken windows, my park benches
 Raccoons and back rooms, giants and small children's, glitter in traffic
 The outlines of tall building still in self defence I kill.
 Yes I will, If they make me do things against my will
 Some make fun of what I wear, and cut my hair
 Goblins and problems I've got my share
 I bitch and complain, and I admit that it's strange
 Parts of my self that I wish I could change
 Insecurities, complexes, x's and marking spots
 Complicated beauty of abandoned buildings and parking lots
 Market thoughts and impulses, rebellion and upheaval
 Tribal indescribable pleasure in such evil
 Review the proof, crime is going through the roof,
 Accuse the youth.
 You'd puke if you knew the truth
 Refrain x2
 (voice)
 Love me once again
 (voice) indistinguishable
