Brett Dennen - Loverboy (2011) by Brett Dennen (보컬) on maniadb.com

Dark clouds gather in the afternoon
Come together just to cry
Seagulls struggling against the wind
Falling out of the sky
Grandma's gathering aluminum cans in a rusty shopping cart
Born-againers getting their lives together while my whole world's falling apart
Open up your eyes
It's happening all around you
If it hasn't found you
Well You know it's just a matter of time
Surprise surprise
What do you think the world owes you
It's not the way it's supposed to go
Well you know It's just a matter of time
Songbird sittig in a tree house with a trumpet to her lips
I'm laying on my back in the tall green grass staring up at the eclipse
Whispers lurking in the alley behind where the children where no shoes
Call girls and corner kids hustling saying what do you got to lose
Open up your eyes
It's happening all around you
If it hasn't found you

Well You know it's just a matter of time
Surprise surprise
What do you think the world owes you
It's not the way it's supposed to go
Well you know It's just a matter of time
And there's nowhere you can run to because the eyes are upon you
Some of the coming up hard and hungry
Stepping up to take your turn
Some of them throwing their money in the fire
Just to watch it burn
Open up your eyes
It's happening all around you
If it hasn't found you
Well You know it's just a matter of time
Surprise surprise
What do you think the world owes you
It's not the way it's supposed to go
Well you know It's just a matter of time

Okay, alright, alright
Sydney, whenever you feel unhappy
All you have to do is call me, I can make you laugh
Sydney, I know that you were wrongly accused
I hope you don't lose your sense of humor
Allegations made in the schoolyard
Soccer moms gossip in the dog park
Their bark is worse than their bite
They're only a couple of crazy cougars
They're bored and spreading their desperate rumors
You know that I was never that cool
But I won't be taken for a fool
If they wanna talk trash they can talk, talk, talk
But they better come collect
And if you ever need me, call me
I'll come running straight to you
Straight from the airport
(I'll come running)
Cut through the customs line
(I'll come running)
Bust down the courthouse doors
(I'll come running)
Sydney, I will testify
(I'll come running)
Sydney, I will testify to ya
We were in the basement
Just giving our blood on stage and
Pretending that we were famous
While you were getting framed
I went back to my room in Surrey Hills, yes, I did
I didn't know you were in trouble until you came in
Just as skinny as a twig in my kitchen
And told me I was looking at a dead man
I said, ""Sydney, you're wrong""
There's a lot of good people living in LA
Yes, there are and
We won't let nobody take you away
No, we won't
You know I was never that cool
But I won't be taken for a fool
If they wanna talk trash they can talk, talk, talk
But they better come collect
And if you ever need me you just call me
I'll come running to you
Straight from the airport
(I'll come running)
Cut through the customs line
(I'll come running)
Bust down the court house doors
(I'll come running)
Sydney I will testify
(I'll come running)
Sydney I will testify
(I'll come running)
I will testify
(I'll come running)
I will testify
(I'll come running)
To ya, to ya, to ya
Sydney whenever you think you need me
Call me up and I'll come running straight to you
I was never that cool
But I won't be taken for a fool
If the wanna talk trash they can talk, talk, talk
But they better come collect
And if you ever need me you just call me
I come running to ya
Straight from the airport
(I'll come running)
Cut through the customs line
(I'll come running)
Bust down the court house doors
(I'll come running)
Sydney I will testify
(I'll come running)
Sydney I will testify
(I'll come running)
I will testify
(I'll come running)
I will testify
(I'll come running)
To ya, to ya, to ya
I will testify
