You Certainly Look The Part

from What If I Was Wrong by His Many Colored Fruit

/

lyrics

Here is where you are where you'll stay,
Can't escape the pointed glare,
Drying out and thirsty on The Steppe.

Bleeding out to wash over the shame,
Fauxgret your frienemies aren't there,
Lug your mask while you're upon The Hill,
Moving brisk,
In the dark,
Watch your back,
Be afraid.

You certainly look the part.
I knew who you were right from the start.
I've got no doubt in my mind.
Always took you for the predatory kind.
You certainly look the part.

Might be you but, something's different,
Like someone in a dream I had,
I can only own you in the dark.
I'd love to hang, but you come after brand,
Can't escape the pointed glare.
I hope that this is all just in my head,
I'm okay,
No I'm not,
Things are great,
I'm afraid.

You certainly look the part.
I knew who you were right from the start.
I've got no doubt in my mind.
Always took you for the predatory kind.

White heat on the lam,
Winding down in LA,
I'm all set like the sun,
I'll run as fast as you can.

Fat boy on the lam,
Pushing back in LA,
I'm death, fear from the gun,
And not the plague of "I am".

Cut ties on the lam,
Saving face in LA,
Oozing death like the sun,
And bleeding out for my man.

Lost cause on the lam,
Fading out in LA,
Screaming "what have I done",
I'll never quite understand.

You certainly look the part.
I knew who you were right from the start.

Botched job on the lam,
Peeling out in LA,
Healing warmth of the sun,
Taking space till I am,
Golden brown on my skin,
Holy white in my heart,
Shouting out from the gut,
Words that no one will hear,
You've taken pieces of me,
It's something I understand,
When your recall has holes,
Assume the worst in a man,
Seeking safety in friends,
And planting pills in your ear,
Now put that fucker on blast and show us all who to fear.
