Bad Man Lyrics - The Year Of No Returning - Ezra Furman

Beauty is a drug and it's coursing through my veins 

I sit at home staring at your picture while my colleagues discuss capital gains 

This love's just a cloud of cigarette smoke 

Blows away on the wind but it stays in your throat 

And the coughing is worse than ever these days 

You walk into the room and I can't look up at you 

All my concentrated efforts added up to one big thing I never meant to do 

My heart's been misfiled by the U.S. Postal Service 

All these people with their expectations make me so nervous 

And people like them could never be like people like you 

You're too bright for me, I'm too dumb for you 

In the night I see your face in the moon 

You're the one who stands rock-solid in the shifting sands 

And I'm a bad, bad man with a place in my heart for you

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

I got to the place where secret things are sold 

Thunder in the distance and it sounds like it's a million years old 

I see your hair like a waterfall falling 

Feel like a long drunk in the parking lot bawling 

And I don't know how this house got so incredibly cold 

I can't explain it and nobody cares to know 

Long-dead women call my name from deep inside my radio 

I set surrounded by my money and my glory 

Numbly re-telling my little pointless life story 

And the chandeliers winked as if to say, "We know" 

And I've confessed all my sins 

I'm just the type who never ever wins 

And I pray to God every weekend 

I fit it in 

Photos 

And I've kept you waiting so long 

But everything's gonna be different when I finish this song 

And I know myself better than anyone 

Who's to say I'm wrong?
