lyrics

It’s what you didn’t say, you old prick
No one’s perfect
I wish they were
I need them to be
But they aren’t
And you're the last one
The last of the ball-busting blowhards
The first one to know and the first one to blow
I hope it won't die
That love in your eye
Yes, that love in your eye
Barfly
On the other side
It's that the world spins on, my friend
No one asked for this
I need to know
I never will
And I'm the last one
The last of the willowy sheep-wolves
The first one to sigh and the first one to lie
I hope you all cry
When I pass to the other side
I'm bankin' on wine and guitars
Up there in the stars
Red wine and guitars
Up there in the stars
It's why we lick boot, money-boss
No one loves you
For you
We wish you only pain
And live for the day
And you're the last one
The last of the dick-swinging dead-eyed
The first one to smile and the first one to kill
I hope you're perturbed
As we split your jaw against the curb
I'm talkin' bout a godless way to die
On the other side
A truly godless way to die
On the other side

In No Masters in Paradise, the form of the songwriter’s ballad, in the hands of an expert, is turned inward for comfort, resisting the base lure of worldly approval. ... more
