rare americans - brittle bones nicky 3 lyrics

[intro]
friends, foes, what can i say?
i’m back for more, couldn’t stay away

you ready? you ready for me?

[verse 1]
i’m taking you back to age 20
there was love, deceit, and mystery

the worst thing ever that a kid could hear
when you got a record, you’re kinda screwed, so i got a job cleaning up hotel rooms
then i saw a beauty that blew my mind when a circus came to town one night
they threw a party at the banquеt hall
that’s where i met hеr, at the chaplin ball
her name is karla, i’m so transfixed,

[pre+chorus]
n0body ever been there to look out for me
i’m all on my own in
n0body ever been there to look out for me
caution to the wind and it feels real free
[chorus]
should i do it?
screw it? (yeah!)
prove it? (yeah!)
even if it’s risky? (yeah!)
tricky? (yeah!)
sticky? (yeah!)
okay, let it roll! okay, let it roll!

[bridge]
we’ve got lions!
we’ve got bears!
we’ve got tigers in their underwears!

[verse 2]
i jumped in the back of a truck
i thought, “oh man, holy f+ck!”

karla kept her cards real close
she was hesitant to trust in folks
one night, we were out watching the stars on a truck, she finally opened up her heart

we docked at a little port town
was out, sniffing around
why two princesses want new dresses, show you love and what success is
for some reason, he liked me

jazzy hands, oh me likey
come be a star, be like me!
just like that, it came to be
brittle bones nicky back to being tricky
[pre+chorus]
n0body ever been there to look out for me
i’m all on my own in circus city
n0body ever been there to look out for me
caution to the wind, man it feels real free

[chorus]
should i do it? (yeah!)
screw it? (yeah!)
prove it? (yeah!)
even if it’s risky? (yeah!)
tricky? (yeah!)
sticky? (yeah!)
okay, let it roll! okay, let it roll!

[verse 3]
who knew i’d become a star?
still a fugitive, my life’s bizarre
i promised i’d never steal again
“a foolproof plan,” that’s what karla said
we’d escape from chaplin’s thumb

kept their money and papers in a safe, key around his neck, girls knew their place
can i say no? she’s all i had

[verse 4]
in his box at intermission
my star performer, dope magician
a trick you say? give us a preview!
chaplin, could i demonstrate on you?
yes, yes, impress these guests!
he had no clue i sn+tched the key from his neck
can’t wait for your closing act
if only they knew me and karla’s pact
she’s on stage, i’m set to close
i snuck in, put the key in the hole
got the papers, got the cash
stuffed the bag, heart beating fast
my heart was beating fast
my heart was beating fast
man, how long can i make this last?

[chorus]
should i do it? (yeah!)
screw it? (yeah!)
prove it? (yeah!)
even if it’s risky? (yeah!)
tricky? (yeah!)
sticky? (yeah!)
okay, let it roll! okay, let it roll!

[verse 5]
as the ring leader called out my name (brittle bones nicky!)
chap knew he had been played
pacing my spot, casing this lot
is karla coming? karla is not
is she caught by racing thoughts?
and, there she was, right on the dot
i didn’t mean to fall in love, you better run
one last kiss. and nicky, they have guns!
her heart was ripped, i was made a fool
she double+crossed me, it was f+cking cruel!
it was f+cking cruel!
she was f+cking cruel

brittle bones nicky

’cause that son of a b+tch is gold
friends, foes, is there part four?
who knows what tricks i’ve got in store?
but you know me (ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!)
i never close that door
