Testo The Leper

Words, chatter, words
And it all amounts to nothing
Sounds, it just sounds
it just sounds a little phony

Yeah it's true I was the leper
Yeah it's true I was the lad
Yeah it's true I was the better and the bad
Reading for the part of someone with a heart
Poised and pissed and powered
Standing on the brink
trying not to think
And I haven't even showered
But I'm going to

And the world keeps settling in my way
damn it all

Christ, what a life
and the most of it forgotten
Bliss, and then this and the rest is pretty rotten
