a couple of my friends are feeling sorry for me
‘cause i fell a little short on my hollywood dream
little do they know i’m happy as a clam
washed up on the shore of a promised land
i couldn’t get at the truth ‘til i admitted my lies
so i could fly with the angels and politely ask them why
i spent my life addicted to pleasure and pain
‘til i got so much of both that it almost felt the same
at the website i just babble on but i already know
what they’ll say when i am gone...
when i worry too much ‘bout your opinion of me
my ego is a trap - a lock without a key
it’s been complicated since the day i was born.
i was momma’s little angel - an angel with horns
at the website i just babble on but i already know
what they’ll say when i am gone
death was my best career move
i wouldn’t hold still while they cooked my goose.
i couldn’t hang around ‘til they tightened up the noose
but when i let ‘em put a price tag on me -
well i lost the only thing that i could’ve had for free
death was my best career move
