the stanfields - born on the wrong side of town lyrics

[verse 1]
i fixed my eye on a golden pie
but i can’t take a bite
i spent my roll on a dream made up
of pure insane delight
there’s an angel singing in my ear
but i’m immune to joy
bells are ringing somewhere in the void

[verse 2]
a cosmic stove has fried my bacon
and left me in a bind
now eyes behind a death mask are looking for
bones and t++th to grind
this puzzle i don’t understand
was clearly made for me
like a muzzle i’ve been forced to wear by a cold enemy

[bridge 1]
who has rolled out a collection of excuses
for a lamb who don’t want to be found
no grand resurrection for a mule who is done
born on the wrong side of town

[verse 3]
no fancy words can spare you from
the pain of breaking vice
it’s no accident or no mistake
when someone tells you twice
somewhere there’s a place within
a finely tuned machine
that goes round and round
with no stops in between
[verse 4]
i hold my nose, count my nickels
and wish away the night
inside four walls, a popcorn ceiling
that’s painted eggsh+ll white
i’d take a ride if i had a whip
and the gasoline was free
but a moonlit drive with the top down singing
won’t fix this for me

[bridge 2]
so no drawn out recollections from the highway
no sliver of truth to be found
no form of protection for a fool on the run
born on the wrong side of town

[instrumental]

[bridge 3]
so i sold my collection of fine things
wallowed in cliché and noun
like a throwback connection to a song over+sung
i was born on the wrong side of town
i was playing the game like a clown
i was born on the wrong side of town
[instrumental]
