The 77s
Jack Spoiler (Alternate Mix)
[Verse 1]
Well, I got me a taste of the hideous waste
That was built around the worship of my beautiful face
And now I bow before the wrinkles and the lines
I'd love to leave behind
Leave behind

[Verse 2]
Well, I’d made some promises I did not keep
So I thought that I'd pretend that I said them in my sleep
But now I can't afford to buy back all the time, the precious time
When all the talk was cheap and all the words were mine
Words were mine
Words were mine
All my promises, they got left behind

[Bridge]
Now I’ve lost my way
I'm prayin' for the day
When I will pay the price
And make the sacrifice to do what's good and right
But I'm so selfish, and I'm blind
When all the world needs seeing eyes
To lead them from the darkness to the light

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Tell Icarus to let go of my wings and let me fly, oh
Aw, Satan get behind me, let the sun shine till it blinds me
