Artist: Shelby Lynne Album: Love, Shelby (2001) Title: Tarpoleon Napoleon
Lyrics Tarpoleon NapoleonWisdom abundant, outlets are few
Driving like crazy, can't break through
Your body's a brick, the demons are calling
You must be Tarpoleon Napoleon
So full of mystery, open as a wound
Didn't know the world could be so cruel
Seeing the image the mirror is holding
You're the real deal Tarpoleon Napoleon
The strongest arms that God gave a man
Embrace all the empty, you do what you can
Your head's in flames, your brains are smoldering
You know it all my friend Tarpoleon Napoleon
You keep on stepping up, you can't get ahead
Rise in the early, collapse out of bed
Hoping you'll pick it up, the pace that you dread
Speed just ain't fast enough, blood that you bled
We're lying there on lies, the walls that you screen
Tied hands with wire, then wash 'em clean
Erase fabrications, the new ones, the old ones
You just prove yourself Tarpoleon Napoleon |
