Grifter's Life Songtext
von The Bad Things

Hey! Hey!

I look in the mirror and I see you
On the morning we just can′t forget
You're falling out of bed all disheveled
As you reach for your first cigarette

You remind me of long lost visions
You remind me of terrible times
You remind me of lost supervision
Of endless nights and hopeless crimes

Lay day dee, Lay day day day day
Lay day Dee, Lay day day day day
Lay day day day, Lay day day day day
Day day day day, Lay day day day day

But we′re too wide eyed and wasted
And we're just trying to get by
What's another ode to our love dear
When we know it′s just a terrible lie


And of all the bars in this town
You just had to crawl into mine
So take another drag of your Winston
And help me drink away time

Hey! Hey!

A grifters life is a long one
False promises and shattered dreams
You know, there′s too many tall tales of romance
You know there's too many bags full of schemes

Yeah, and people like us stick together
People like us never part
We′re just trying hard to fill in them spaces
Of the cracks where there used to be heart

Hey! Hey!

Lay day dee, Lay day day day day
Lay day dee, Lay day day day day
Lay day day day, Lay day day day day
Day day day day, Lay day day day day

And you never do pass judgment
And I'd laugh at you if you tried
And you don′t even question my motives
And you don't mess with my slow suicide


And of all the gutters in this town
You just had to fall into mine
Well, let′s lay here and look at the stars dear
'Til tomorrow, or 'til the end of time
