lyrics

Im Bad News
I am a liar
and I am a thief
I’ll steal your shoes
out from under you
and make you feel like
I swept you off of your feet

I am two-faced
and I am a cheat
I’ll put on a nice bluff
like I’m playing fair
but I always keep
a couple of cards up my sleeve

I am sleezy
and I am dirt
I’ll pull your heart
out of your chest
with a spell
and pawn it off
for whatever its worth

whoa-oh-oh-oh
Don’t come close
whoa-oh-oh-oh
don’t come close
because I wouldn’t wish this
upon anyone
you’d be better off if you left me alone

I’ll take you on fancy dates
and present you with fancy things
then I’ll never talk to you again

I’ll construct bridges out of clay
tell everybody that there safe
and watch them plummet to there graves

I’ll make a billion promises
and I wont follow through with them
I’ll teach you of disappointment

I’ll steal your car
and leave you in the dark
I wont tip the tender of the bar
I’ll rob change from a homeless man

whoa-oh-oh-oh
Don’t come close
whoa-oh-oh-oh
don’t come close
because I wouldn’t wish this
upon anyone
you’d be better off if you left me alone

Well I’ve kept this hidden
from the public eye
oh I stay masterfully disguised
you’ll never really know
whats on my mind

and I’ll keep you hidden from the truth
inside a luxurious room
complete with a magnificent view

and I’ll rob you blind
right on the spot
take you for everything you’ve got
and all you’ll be able to do
is watch
