Bartees Strange
Nightmare Muscle
I left my home for childish dreams and open road — was bullet proof and broke (Old news)
I woke up dead over my head
Another stranger in my bed
I rent the room. I owe. (Old news)
If it’s the rule that everything you do
That you choose with nothing else to lose
Is the pure the ugly and the true
Wish Idda said that
Before I hit the black hole
How many full grown people have you heard them say
I have enough
Of all thе pills that open up my eyes to my light?
I need a nightmarе muscle just to play this game
Do I have enough
Under the weight of the world?
Daddy got too busy with the backstroke
So Johnny’s gettin dizzy off the dope
While I had to watch to happen from the outside
Who am I talking bout it depends who you know
Don’t ever let a faggot run a peep show
I can tell you where to look you might not like it tho
Complain that life’s too ugly through my eyes
Well I look away from em
Who’s to blame if everything I say is at first somebody else’s way?
I want the ease and errrbody paid while I get jack shit
It’s like running from a black hole
How many full grown people have you heard them say ‘I have enough’?
You gotta kill to make a killing on your way to the good life
I need a nightmare muscle just to play this game
Do I have enough Under the weight of the world?
Who’s got the strength for the work Under the weight of the world?
Who’s got the strength for the work?
I do before I hit the black hole
How many full grown people have you heard them say
I have enough
Of all the pills that open up my eyes to my light?
What kind of nightmare muscle’s made to play this game?
Do I have enough Under the weight of the world?
