Jesse Malin - Bent Up lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

His parents seem to leave him with a buzzing kid

Gave him lots of money, thinking that makes end

Sad song playing on round and round on go

Tryin' hard not to let it show

Picking up the pieces in the parking lot

Pass the roadrunner and the local cops

When we're young and there ain't no peace

You hit the gas and you're mobile east

(Chorus)

And here comes Johnny with a brand new song

All pumped up on rock n' roll

A restless Beatle not a kid controls

All messed up on rock n' roll

(Verse 2)

Always loved the music, neva smoked or drank

I singled down in DC that he used to think

One day his luck will turn

From that place he cannot return

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

When I met his father at the funeral grove

We talked about friendship and some pot of gold

If I knew, could I have helped?

It's hard not to blame yourself

Soon we got together and we played some songs

Helped him through and moved the spirit long

Shaky voices on my mind

Someone saved my life tonight

(Chorus)
