Life's looking up.

I'm spending all my money,

On cheap kicks and smooth wine.

I'm spending all my money,

On cheap kicks and smooth wine.

I've got a life that's too short to live,

So I'm gonna go on,

And have a good time.

I'm gonna wake up every morning,

Find some green leaves to burn.

Coz you never know how this game will play out.

And I don't wanna feel,

Like I missed my turn.

I'll be standing on the corner,

Watching the world go by.

I'll reach out for one of those teary eyes.

And tell them don't worry,

There's no need to cry.

I'm spending all my money,

On cheap kicks and smooth wine.

I'm spending all my money,

On cheap kicks and smooth wine.

I've got a life that's too short to live,

So I'm gonna go on,

And have a good time.

There's a million different reasons,

For a million different crimes.

But to spend my years writing dreary songs.

Seems like a waste,

Of words and rhyme.

So I'm spending all my money,

On cheap kicks and smooth wine.

I'm spending all my money,

On cheap kicks and smooth wine.

I've got a life that's too short to live,

I'm gonna go on,

And have a good time.

The City (Incomplete)

The young and the old,
Hide in their homes.
They peek from the window,
Like Nero watched Rome.
Huddled together,
They're perfectly alone.
But this town has no Caesar nor savior.

The Godmen and saints,
Barter in hope.
At least they sell,
The right length of rope.
To hang our sorrows,
Or to happily choke.
When we run out of places to believe in.

The ghost of the past,
Is awakened everyday.
For words of comfort,
Provided we pay.
We listen to nothing,
That they all have to say.
But it's all just pointless knowledge.

The cry of a little girl,
Is drowned by pelted stones.
The name's of the innocent,
Burned with their bones.
She's killed in the street,
After being used by her own.
Their smile isn't laughter, it's madness.

The child under the bridge,
Holds a baby in her hands.
Her mother in the street,
Trying to understand.
Father and brother,
Lost to the land.
That is the story of this city.
