lyrics

World Loop (West Lafayette)

(Well…)
Heading down to West Lafayette, where all good lives go to waste
For a whiff of merry carelessness, but I found I’d lost the taste
I’d put a tag on my ideals and it seems I pawned the truth
Hooray ! Won Consolation prize but I found I’d lost my youth

(I said)
Kick/Ass/Hole/Dead/Buried
Same Loop Again
Kick/Ass/Hole/Dead/Buried
Same Loop Again

(Well…)
Life hands out candy bars but I guess that comes and goes
Like in downtown, early spring, the men, the pimps and hoes
Threw my coins in the wishing well and it wiped my pockets clean
But who am I to bother you ? I’m the face you haven’t seen…

(I said)
Kick/Ass/Hole/Dead/Buried
Same Loop Again
Kick/Ass/Hole/Dead/Buried
Same Loop Again

--It’s a World Loop--Same Loop Again--

(I said)
Kick/Ass/Hole/Dead/Buried
Same Loop Again
Kick/Ass/Hole/Dead/Buried
Same Loop Again Same Loop Again Same Loop Again Same Loop Again

(Well…)
Let’s all watch the ghost parade, though I’ve found out I’m a stooge, but
I’ve invested in my own decay, so returns should be kinda huge
Since they’ve burned my Detroit down, life’s no fun to be around, yet
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout stickin ‘round-till the Reaper’s back in town –
- Let my hair down…

Kick/Ass/Hole/Dead/Buried
Same Loop Again
Kick/Ass/Hole/Dead/Buried
Same Loop Again

--It’s a World Loop--Same Loop Again--
