Testo Baby Babe

Baby babe
don't let me down
baby babe
I won't be around
I'm crying for you
there's nothing I can do
It's out of my hands
The lights come to life in my eyes and start firing
I'm all alone in this game is what I'm finding
if life's a stage
I'm about to get my time
in the spotlight
let's hope it ain't blinding
breathe deep
let the mic do the legwork
run crowds
make ‘em bounce
‘til their legs hurt
and you can move in the mix with these actors
big smilers
for the cameras
soul stealers yeah
these heart breakers
money makes friends
and they all bring shakers
but when the shaking's done
yeah
and the lights out
the alcohol's all gone
get the f**k outta my house
and when you find yourself alone in this emptiness
in that place of self-loathing resentfulness
and you wonder
”goddamn how'd it get to this?”
there she is
my girl
and I tell her this

I'm not a man who makes plans very easily
something about tied down don't agree with me
I've lived my life like a fire in a snow storm
against the odds
baby moving ‘til I broke dawn
'til I saw the sun come
I'm never done
putting a fight
and if something never comes
I can at least well never did I once
sell my soul to the devil
never once
there's plenty people who love you when you're up
kick you when you're down
if they stick around
most are ghosts are ‘til the toasts
yup
and when they reappear
it's like they're loving you the most
and in the midst of these plastics and transients
my lady
ever-present like the ambience
a real human who gets me through the day
so darling
all to you
I ever say is

There's a silence that creeps in violently
the solitude of my soul that keeps finding me
it's the rush of being out on stage
and spitting to the crowd to keep them entertained
that keeps me entertained
keeps me intertwined
I'm delivered to my fate
the fine line that I figure I should take
to deliver on the goals
the dreams for which I'm made
I walk this music
speak with the industry
but ain't nobody in there that ever interests me
tinsel people with hollowed out affections
every word just shadowed misdirection
and there she is
a ghost vision
one real enough to kiss
I don't have much
but all that I can give
I give to you
the reason that I live
so
