An Easy Life

So tell me where it hurts
Did those stunts prove anything
And darlin' aren’t you leaving
Anyone a souvenir?
Drawing weapons from a book
You’re the one you’re hurting, no no
Simple distractions
Polishing all these severed heads
Oblivion is nice
Till it bites you in the ass
And you roam
Without a single clue
The riddle I’ve been aiming
Every poison arrow at
Twilight hours on the hook
With no money burning, no no
I ought to desert you
Quietly slide out your back door
The vertigo is nice
But makes it hard to dance
Yes you want to win the prize
Hoping the odds will change this time
Losing it all again ain’t right
«Whoa wait», she said then I recoiled
I got tricked and I deserved it don’t
Look back from anything but
The question is simple
Why not be smiling, no no
What did it hurt
Leaving it all to happenstance
Want an easy life
But you can’t get settled down
What did it hurt
Leaving it all to happenstance
Want an easy life
But you just can’t settle down
But you just can’t settle down
