Bastard

[Words and music by Devin Townsend]
 [1] Not one of the better days
 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
 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
 Bastard, mother, father, no...
 Time passed quicker than you will ever know
 And they can push me harder
 But you know I'll never go
 And they will justify it, but you know
 It will take them slow
 [2] The girl from blue city
 The lights from across the harbour
 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
 ...Feel old, gone where the feelings go
 ...Gone now in a field of green
 Gone where feelings go...
