Brittle Bones Nicky 3

歌詞

Friends! Foes! What can I say? I'm back for more, I couldn't stay away People ask, where's part 3? You ready? You ready for me? I'm taking you back to age twenty There was love, deceit, and mystery When Shifty died, judge gave four years The worst thing ever that a kid could hear When you got a record, you're kinda screwed So I got a job cleaning up hotel rooms Then I saw a beauty that blew my mind When a circus came to town one night And threw a party at the banquet hall That's where I met her, at The Chaplin ball Her name was Karla, I was so transfixed A rush of blood, straight to my ("Woah!") Mysterious as the flight of doves That's tailed me ever since I lost my mom She invited me to watch her fly trapeze Fuck parole, I do as I please! Nobody ever been there to look out for me I'm all on my own in shit city Nobody ever been there to look out for me Caution to the wind, man it feels real free! Should I do it? (Yeah!) Screw it? (Yeah!) Prove it? (Yeah!) Even if it's risky? (Yeah!) Tricky? (Yeah!) Sticky? (Yeah!) Okay, let it roll! Okay, let it roll! We've got lions, we've got bears We've got tigers in their underwear's Step right up, Nicky! Step right up! Welcome to the circus! I jumped in the back of a truck I thought oh man, holy fuck! The circus was tailor-made for me Oddballs, misfits, livin' free Karla kept her cards real close She was hesitant of trusting folks One night we were out watching the stars On a truck bed she finally opened up her heart My parents sent us on a ship in the night Escaped the war, fresh start at life We docked at a little port town Chaplin was out sniffing around "Why two princesses, want new dresses? Show you love, and what success is?" For some reason he liked me So I did some tricks Pockets taught me "Jazzy hands, oh me likey Come be a star, be like me!" Just like that, it came to be Brittle Bones Nicky, back to being tricky Nobody ever been there to look out for me I'm all on my own, in circus city! Nobody ever been there to look out for me Caution to the wind, man it feels real free! Should I do it? (Yeah!) Screw it? (Yeah!) Prove it? (Yeah!) Even if it's risky? (Yeah!) Tricky? (Yeah!) Sticky? (Yeah!) Okay, let it roll! Okay, let it roll! Who knew I'd become a star Still a fugitive, my life's bizarre I promised I'd never steal again "A fool-proof plan", that's what Karla said We'd escape from Chaplin's thumb I didn't know the scary shit he'd done Kept their money and papers in a safe Key around his neck, girls knew their place Could I say no? She's all I had Risk was high, odds looked bad In his box at intermission "My star performer, dope magician" "A trick you say! Give us a preview!" "Chaplin, could I demonstrate on you?" "Yes, yes, impress these guests" He had no clue I snatched the key from his neck "I can't wait for your closing act" If only they knew me and Karla's pact She's on stage, I'm set to close I snuck in, put the key in the hole Got the papers, got the cash Stuffed the bag, heart beating fast My heart was beating fast My heart was beating fast Man, how long can I make this last? Should I do it? (Yeah!) Screw it? (Yeah!) Prove it? (Yeah!) Even if it's risky? (Yeah!) Tricky? (Yeah!) Sticky? (Yeah!) Okay, let it roll! Okay, let it roll! As the ring leader called out my name "Brittle Bones Nicky", Chap knew he'd been played Pacing my spot, casing this lot Is Karla coming? Karla is not Is she caught? My racing thoughts Then there she was right on the dot "I didn't mean to fall in love, you better run" One last kiss, "and Nicky they got guns" My heart was ripped, I was made a fool She double-crossed me, it was fucking cruel It was fucking cruel She was fucking cruel (Fucking cruel) If it cost me my life man I'd save my only friend That's something I could live with I could take that till the end Brittle Bones Nicky Not so crafty or tricky But that son of a bitch won't fold Cuz that son of a bitch is gold Friends! Foes! Is there part 4? Who knows what tricks I got in store But you know me (Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!) I'd never close that door
