!JP - Begbie Doesn't Live Here

from Carbon Copy (extended version) by Jean Koning

/

lyrics

Did you finally?
Lost yourself?
Put all your dreams on the shelf?
For all to see?
Did you break down for parenthood?
Find a place in your neighborhood?
Aha

Make the scene in your travesty?
Found Plato's philosophy?
Your life for rent?
Did the schoolboy just break your heart?
Made the runway in Punk E-charts?
Aha

The package inside your drag was lit like another fag?
So all falls down?
Take a zip of your new perfume?
Why did it all die so soon?
Aha

So?
Bow your head to his lazy stare?
I got barbwire tinted hair
Found out today
They tried to drown you in the pool at that boring Neo-Hitler school?
Aha

Did you finally?
Lost yourself?
Put all your dreams on the shelf?
For all to see?
Did you break down for parenthood?
Find a place in your neighborhood?
Aha
Aha
Aha
Aha
