lyrics

Get Heavy

It's coming to get me
Survival of the fittest
Throw a fit to win you idiot
And it's scary
Like a disease I didn't see
Until it bore down on me

Well there's a not so little part of me
Stuck here at this never ending party
It'll be okay I'll be all right
I just slept through the most important section
Of my life

Dug into your pocket and I paid my way
Every little step of the way
Now I'm a little homesick
And a little sick
'Cause I don't got no one here to buy me dick

Now I'm pretending to be innocent
Faking a mood of modesty and generalized regret
And I'm really starting to bug me
Just last night I was fawning like an advertisement

This is the part where it starts to get
(heavy)

Took her to the bathroom for a little kiss
In a classic combination of innocence and filth
Fluorescent spark in the reflection
And some funky little pills
Committing random acts of smugness
Using words I can't pronounce
Check out the full set of italics
Hanging off my mouth

AMPLIFIER: Understated irony frequently underscores bittersweet melodies.

ALL MUSIC GUIDE: Bon Mots just may be Chicago's best-kept secret. ... more
