Jay Brannan - Greatest Hits lyrics

To bitter from sweet like liquid to concrete
It's tough to digest
Life rips through your chest
And just takes a heartbeat
You can't check your pain
Aboard the shame train
And maybe I'm out of line
But, if you show me yours i'll sing you mine
A punch in the gut some black 'round the eye
There's red from my lips
And i'm asking god why
There's a bump on my head
And a hole in my heart
If there's one thing I've learned, it's
That these are my greatest hit's
I don't sing for the rainbow
Cuz I taste the rain
They spit "cheer up" and they scoff
I laugh "cheer down or fuck off"
Then get roughed up against the grain
You may never be happy
And I still see your worth
Someday we'll be less miserable
We'll dye our heads invisible
Wrapped up in robes not of this earth
Not of this earth not of this earth
Not of this earth a punch in the gut
Some black 'round the eye
There's red from my lips
And i'm asking god why
There's a bump on my head
And a hole in my heart
If there's one thing I've learned, it's
That these are my greatest hit's

Would you read a book if somebody
Took out all the good pages?
So we did some drugs, gave out some hugs
Rattled a few cages have you made mistakes
Let off the brakes? confess uncleanliness
Not to feel bad about but
To embrace your humanness
(embrace your humanness) a punch in the gut
Some black 'round the eye
There's red from my lips
And I'm asking god why
There's a bump on my head
And a hole in my heart
If there's one thing I've learned, it's
That these are my greatest hit's
