Disadvantaged Kiss
This is such a bad idea
It was wrong of me to lead you here
I’m unhappy and you’re free
That’s like mixing shit and cream
Nothing good can come from this
it’s a disadvantaged kiss
There’s a light that goes on in my eyes
as I contemplate my wrong
And it’s so bright that I’m surprised
that I fooled them for so long
With our lives so full of doubt
I could stand to blind myself with bliss
Let them get their flick knives out
for this disadvantaged kiss
Can’t tell myself I’m not that man
when it’s so obvious I am
I’m no good to anyone
I’m the devil’s bastard son
I’d sell my soul, my blood, my piss
for this disadvantaged kiss
There’s a light that goes on in my eyes
as I contemplate my wrong
And it’s so bright that I’m surprised
that I fooled them for so long
With our lives so full of doubt
I could stand to blind myself with bliss
Let them get their flick knives out
for this disadvantaged kiss
Nothing I could say right now,
could make this bittersweet
I’ll put you off your food,
if I can’t sweep you off you feet
If I should die before I wake,
I’d probably deserve it
That caution you mother drilled in you
it’s time that you observed it
Still I know that I won’t back down
Were all alone here in this town
You know they’re going to make us pay
At least were choosing it this way
Might as well go out like this
locked in this disadvantaged kiss
There’s a light that goes on in my eyes
as I contemplate my wrong
And it’s so bright that I’m surprised
that I fooled them for so long
With our lives so full of doubt
I could stand to blind myself with bliss
Let them get their flick knives out
for this disadvantaged kiss
