Golden Promises Lyrics
When was it promised to be good?
when did the sunlight turn to gold?
when I'm halfway around the sun
with a hash pipe and a machine gun
Oh Lord, shoot me / Oh Lord, shoot me
soon
True beauty always has a cost
Self-reflection always shows a loss
And the mirror begins to suck
As the ego becomes unstuck
and you dance and you drink and fuck
and you use up your allotted luck
beautifully self-absorbed
throw all your friends overboard
We were halfway out the mud
when the levee released the flood
and the water turned into blood
failing promises made a thud.
when did the sunlight turn to gold?
with a hash pipe and a machine gun
Self-reflection always shows a loss
As the ego becomes unstuck
and you dance and you drink and fuck
and you use up your allotted luck
throw all your friends overboard
when the levee released the flood
and the water turned into blood
failing promises made a thud.

I think it's about expectations. When you set them high, you're always doomed to fail.
