christopher sean – the street peddler lyrics

Loading...

you’re a drifter, a sort of drunken shape-shifter
a street sl1ck word peddler
the dancing man with hands like flames
or, so it appears
when you peddle your wares
a black-eye-liner lady on your left
dressed up as a witch from macbeth
or maybe she was, she was, she was
man, i think she was

happier before you turned her into a lying, crying, cheap subst-tute for love

you call yourself a gangster, that makes you a prankster
a ragam-ffin gambler or some such bluffing thing
the kind of man honest folks curse
but you praise
as you walk around town in a daze
threatening silence with a bl–dy blade
chicken sh-t business
but as they say, screwed-up is
what screwed-up does

you turned a good girl into a lying, crying, cheap subst-tute for love

it’s okay, so you took my girl
she was born in a garden
her parents named her god’s pearl
no, i’m not upset
though i haven’t woken yet
to the justice that might suit the crime
or an emotion that might
rein in the night
or bring that bright day back to us

until then i watch the room spin and cuss
in the arms of another one of the devil’s stupid charms
just a lying, crying, law defying, a d-mned shamed faced sighing, high flying, sorry excuse for true love
