Super man took steroids,
Pete Rose placed bets
Half of ya heroes just do it for the paycheque
& were just so susceptible to pedelstols enamored by Politicians & Jezebels on genitals
maybe were just looking for a substitute like someone to look up to who can fill the void of daddys drug abuse
ya bieber poster come unglued
you make the switch to someone new
& pour your heart to strangers knowing they will never love you too
as kids when we play we put a cape on
as teens we play we put our jays on
college years pumping gas at a save on
escaping through the glamour of a drake song,
with this naieve eyes i’ve seen dudes i idolize
snortin stuff that looks like white flower no edelweiss
seen my hero wrap a belt on arm & tie it tight,
they stripped away his belt from him at the title fight
Hook (Astronautalis)
these hands never medle what they couldn’t lift
let’s pretend that i’m better than i ever been
Live the lie one more time for your good ol’ friend
cuz you know one day you’ll just fade away
I fade away, I’ll fade away
cuz you know one day you’ll just fade away
Verse 2
foolish loyalty is all i walk the plank with,
heart often vacant, acting ostentacious
when the princess in the folklore put make-up on her coldsore
maybe that’s the reason that these girls don’t feel normal,
or maybe that’s the reason we loving watching the kardashians
to laugh at them
& laugh it off, a long day with glass of scotch,
as a kid I shaved 23 in my head,
Jordan 12’s had the black & white & white & red
Then I heard Jordan had a gamblin problem
& had an affair i didn’t care 23 in my hair,
grew older & became more aware
dissappointed fans I’ve had my fair share,
they think we’re so innocent but we are only business men
& when they see that man they can’t be a kid again
they can’t be a kid again
so take this cape from my itchy skin
Hook (Astronautalis)
these hands never medle what they couldn’t lift
let’s pretend that i’m better than i ever been
Live the lie one more time for your good ol’ friend
cuz you know one day you’ll just fade away
I fade away, I’ll fade away\
cuz you know one day you’ll just fade away
verse 3:
eyes full of piss & vinegar
could throw a frozen rope
from right there to third base
to shatter all ya hope
i breathe life into ya dinner
i could tell a solid joke
glide across the dance floor
so smooth you swore i float
folks knew i was a winner
since before i learned to walk
a firm handshake was my signature
you’d trust me when i talk
it’s true but could begin again
i wouldn’t change a grain of salt
but no one tells a sprinter anythin’ of how it feels to fall
it’s all victories & solid gold
records ya soon to break & cups ya hold
and then one day you feel em gettin close
their breath upon ya neck is hotter than a summer night back home
that’s when you feel it slip a little bit
no fall at all
just a glimpse you might be losin grip
so what the heck you gunna go & do with this?
anythin, to keep em held at a distance kid
Hook (Astronautalis)
these hands never medle what they couldn’t lift
let’s pretend that i’m better than i ever been
Live the lie one more time for your good ol’ friend
cuz you know one day you’ll just fade away
I fade away, I’ll fade away\
cuz you know one day you’ll just fade away
