Track 10 from the LP "Bachelor Pad Blue; Bent Pants & Stray Cats" by Patrick Porter
lyrics
HARD TO KEEP MY HALO ON
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c.2009)
I've been making it my fault
I've been kicking wide
I've been getting my wile on
Like 'they call me the breeze'
A parasite in a little flop
I'm off on a furlong
Taking leave
When I got no one
When I'm all alone
It's hard to keep my halo on
I'm out on the highway
And I'm missing a light
I'm screaming my head off
Because the driver's drunk
When I asked for directions
The guy just smiled
He said "I've been living the high life
and I'm feeling low"
When I got no one
When I'm on my own
It's hard to keep my halo on
We are adults
Out on the town
Drinking and talking
Doing our thing
Holding our beers
Just like so
We are adults
Dontcha know?
Cheers!
