Selfish Man Lyrics - Alive Behind The Green Door - Flogging Molly

I don't eat I just devour 

Everyone in every hour 

All is me, is all I need and that's all that I care 

Propelled through all this madness 

By your beauty and my sadness 

I'll never change or rearrange 

'Till I've finished what I've started 

And life leads me here 

It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me 

Like the time, you slipped through my hands 

I'll never understand 

Why I'm such a selfish man 

Walk around me not before me 

I'll pretend not to ignore ye 

But I'll compromise if I realize you can do something for me 

I'm ugly and you know it 

But you think that I'm a poet 

So I'll keep the rhyme if I feel in time 

It gets me where I'm going 

And life leads me here 

It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me 

Like the time, you slipped through my hands 

And I'll never understand 

No, I'll never understand 

Why I'm such a selfish man 

All I heard was an unearthly silence 

Apart from the violence, explode in my head 

Where all at once was this moment of beauty 

No more since it slew me, no never again, again, again 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

No, I'll never understand 

No, I'll never understand 

Why I'm such a selfish man 

Selfish man, selfish man, selfish man, selfish man, selfish man
