Cruel

so don't give me respect
don't give me a piece of your preciousness
flaunt all she's got in our old neighborhood
I'm sure she'll make a few friends

even the rain bows down let us pray
as you cock cock cock your mane

no cigarettes only peeled HAVANAS for you

I can be cruel

I don't know why

Why can't my balloon stay up
in a perfectly windy sky

I can be cruel
I don't know why


dance with the Sufi's
celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain

lover brother bogenvilla
my vine twists around your need
even the rain is sharp like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane

no cigarettes only peeled HAVANAS for you

I can be cruel
I don't know why

Why can't my balloon stay up
in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel
I don't know why
