lirik lagu justin townes earle - the saint of lost causes (demo)

[verse 1]
i’m a bad dream
i’m not a nightmare, i’m too pretty for that
let’s say i’m the last thing you wanna see coming
i’m the reason they say “watch your back”
but for so long, i was like a wounded hound
backed against a chainlink fence
the world at large was like a big, mean kid
poking me through the fence with a stick
ain’t n0body goin’ back
it takes a whole lot of hurt
therein lies one of life’s biggest lessons
ain’t got a d~mn thing to do with “deserve”

just pray to the saint of lost causes

[verse 2]
now it’s a cruel world
oh, but it ain’t hard to understand
see you got your sheep, got your shepherds
got your wolves amongst men
but sometimes it can be hard to tell
you might get a wolf in a shepherd’s clothes
and now and then you’re gonna find sheep
hidden amongst all those troubled souls
folks who is most afraid of the wolf
but if you really stop and think
throughout time, between a wolf and a shepherd
who do you think has k!lled more sheep?
there’s nothing can be done
it’s just the way it goes
first you go bad, then you get mean
then there’s nothing left but to grow cold
and pray to the saint of lost causes

[bridge]
some will say i’ve got no feeling
no heart and surely no shame
truth is that this has been with me so long
that i, i must admit i enjoy the pain

[verse 3]
how many encounters you ever
better yet, how many wolves you even seen?
you got about as much chance of seeing one of them
as you do running into me
don’t take nothing for granted
might live on the best [?] in beverly hills
be sure you lock up tight at night
we know poor folks ain’t got nothing to steal

i’m in the city of lost causes
i’m in the city of lost causes
