Righteous Child Lyrics

Two young hearts in a cage tacked up on my wall
but they're hard to look at now
this clocks ticking omens but i read them wrong
we made it through another bad year somehow
black and white smiles shines down on me
i cant help myself from laughing
flashing like cheap bright neon dreams
of haunted days nowhere born and raised
but i remember you with your shoulders draped in my jacket
hanging of the edge of the party
looking straight down at the street
you were always in the mood to pick up another bad habit
wont you give me that cigarette smile
keep me staring at my feet

do you think that i could come around
the way i used to do
i'll be your loser your creep
your liar your cheat
your king of self abuse

would you deny me if i stayed for awhile
you were such a righteous righteous righteous
rocking desperate child
but i remember you with your shoulders draped in my jacket
you had your bangs chopped short
like some second hand doo wop queen
you said i'm cuttin' out of here
to paris, new york maybe athens
someplace they'd see the art
in a f****** mess like me

do you think that i could come around
the way i used to do
tell me all the ways life let ya down
call your bluffs salt your wounds

would you deny me if i stayed for awhile
you were such a righteous righteous righteous
rocking desperate child
would you deny me if i wait on the line
crucify all my lovers
confess to all my crimes
black and white smiles shines down on me
howling out swears and love songs
flashing like cheap bright neon dreams
flickering fading gone

would you deny me if i stayed for awhile
ohh you were always such a desperate child
would you deny me if i stayed for awhile
ohh you were always such a desperate child
would you deny me if i stayed for awhile
ohh you were always such a desperate child
would you deny me if i stayed for awhile
ohh you were always such a desperate child
