Scrape Noise Lyrics

Groovy Aardvark Scrape Noise

Make up still can't hide
The twisted misery lines
Haven't seen her around
I check the word downtown

Word is she at the wrong end of a fist
Her old man is up to his old tricks

Takes the heat when it comes down
Sister why do you stick around
She says poor man needs me back
Why deny all the facts

You walk, you stand
And run as fast as you can
You take a giant leap forward and escape
From his attack

Been stepped on, been raped
Had to smile, learned how to fake
I know you're lying to yourself
Everyday you stay
Eats up your chances of improvment
The brakes that come you will create

Scraped up, enough courage
Decided that's it today
Must be all the prayers that your poor man
Has sent your way
Staying with a friend in Mexico
The bad thoughts you have to let them go

You walked, you stood
And ran as fast as you could
You took a giant leap forward and escaped
From his attack
Ain't never coming back
