Pretty Mess - Alexi Lalas

Well, once upon a time you had to move along

You went lookin' for a scene that could turn you on

Yeah, you made a break and slammed the door

And you never looked back again

Well, hey, hey, hey, just another cliche

Too much too fast, then it slips away

Well, you fake the part and read the lines

But you never called back again

And nobody wants to know you now

Yeah, nobody wants to know you now

(Pretty mess)

Sugar on the outside

Right next door and a world away

(Pretty mess)

Screamin' for a lifeline

Dyin' for th chance you had yesterday

What a wast for a little taste

But away we go

With a next-door smile and a paper star

You found a buck and a dream doesn’t go that far

Yeah, you learn to rest in the eye of the storm

But it’s coming around again

Well, it’s a long climb up and a short fall down

But the joke’s on you when you’re kissin' the clown

And you lay the blame and live the lie

That you’ll never go back again

And nobody wants to know you now

Yeah, nobody wants to know you now

(Pretty mess)

Sugar on the outside

Right next door and a world away

(Pretty mess)

Screamin' for a lifeline

Dyin' for the chance you had yesterday

What a waste for a little taste

But away we go

Come tomorrow, cold and hollow

You’ll be running home

And nobody wants to know you now

Yeah, nobody wants to know you now

(Pretty mess)

Sugar on the outside

Right next door and a world away

(Pretty mess)

Screamin' for a lifeline

Dyin' for the chance you had yesterday

(Pretty mess)

Sugar on the outside

Right next door and a world away

(Pretty mess)

Screamin' for a lifeline

Dyin' for the chance you had yesterday

What a waste for a little taste

Yeah, it’s such a waste for a little taste

Yeah, it’s such a waste for a little taste

But away we go
