Paroles de Golden Promises

When was it promised to be good? When did the sunlight turn to gold? When I'm halfway around the sun With a hash pipe and a machine gun Oh lord, shoot me Oh lord, shoot me, soon True beauty always has a cost Self-reflection always shows a loss And the mirror begins to suck As the ego becomes unstuck And you drink and you dance and fuck And you use up your allotted luck Beautifully self-absorbed Throw all your friends overboard We were halfway out the mud When the levee released the flood And the water turned into blood Failing promises made a thud.
