Modesty Pays Songtext
von Mounties

Neil Young saved my brother it was 1992
When the household was mired and crumbled
From Hank to Hendrix pulled him through now
Isn′t it funny just how a song can turn a weak kid back to strong now
And just maybe Marlon Brando could be there to retire
The confusing loss and loves that tear away at a lost boys fire now
You were hurt for so long
You were hurt for so long that you had to run away

Sometimes the little things can be big things
Show me your sloppiness
Sometimes the messy messy moments of sadness
Show me your realness
Sometimes the background is the darkest thing
Show me your heaviness
Sometimes the deepness of your deepest of questions
Show me your specialness


Modesty you're killing me
The best of what we want to be
Modesty you′re killing me
The best of what we could have been

Invent invent invent invent
Invent a new valentine
Dip my fingers in turpentine
Invent invent invent invent
Invent a new valentine
Dip my fingers in turpentine

You were hurt for so long
You were hurt for so long that you had to run away

Modesty you're killing me
The best of what we want to be
Modesty you're killing me
The best of what we could have been

Invent invent invent invent
Invent a new valentine
Dip my fingers in turpentine
Invent invent invent invent
Invent a new valentine
Dip my fingers in turpentine
