Artist: Shelby Lynne Album: I am Shelby Lynne (2000) Title: Life is bad
Lyrics Life is badWaste away to nothin' in a dark dusty tomb
Looking for the traces of what used to be a room
Wipe away the blood from a tormented brow
Solve the wicked problem never asking how
Rock the sinking vessel till it rests on the bottom
Count the waves of water don't remember forgot them
Taste the stench of livin' on thin dimes and a dream
Opening an ear to a painful silent scream
Oh life is bad
Oh no worst I ever had
Ache and writhe in agony like a vise on aging bones
Tar and acid drip from an ice cream cone
Holding onto a wind that chases the hell
Fallin' in the darkness of an ever descending well
Caress transparent night
As a demon with a sword
Speak with an eloquence
Never saying a word
Look into the clarity
Then erase it with the much
Lying in a pool of consciousness
No such thing as luch
To being a beginner, to inventing the end
To livin' with a strangler never a friend
Saddle slobbering beast trouble is abound
Ride the devil's bronco never hit the ground |
