The Starving Artist Lyrics - Androcles

I remember I had a friend 

Who'd just pretend 

That he was fine 

Until it blew up in his face 

Couldn't sleep in his own bed 

He wished he was dead 

Cause it was better 

Than hanging around 

That same old place 

So he stayed out every night 

He seemed alright 

When he was drunk or high 

That's when he talked the most 

He would laugh and tell a joke 

To please the folks 

And he was smooth enough 

So some girls were always close

Like a campfire 

Throwing embers 

See the sparks fly from the brakes 

Coming down the iron tracks 

Or a bad liar 

Just an actor 

Said he'd learned from his mistakes 

And he was leaving 

But he would be right back 

And who would've been convinced 

Especially since 

We didn't see him 

Till the seventeenth of may 

We could smell it on his breath 

He looked like death 

And you could tell he was tired 

But he hadn't slept for days

Like a stray dog 

Growing whiskers 

On the corner of the street 

Where he has made his bed to rest 

Or like a lazy 

Starving artist 

Wanting just to make ends meet 

He only wished that he could say 

He'd done his best
