horrible

angie fights crime

RPM 2014

horrible life
needs a favor tonight
keep the fakers away
and the hipsters and the leeches from my sight
horrible life
needs a drink or nine
shortly everything’s bright
and the music is neither awful nor sublime

it’s all
a bit of camouflage
a little sleight of hand
fool the people for a while
it’s all
smoke and pretty ones
dancing through the walls
then disappear into the night

horrible life
needs a favor tonight
keep the darkness at bay
if only for a short short little while

it’s all
catch and release
a tangled web we weave
fool the people for a while
it’s all
success in little steps
measured with a last caress
then disappear into the night
