Devin Townsend Bastard Lyrics

Bastard Lyrics

[Words and music by Devin Townsend]







[1] Not one of the better days



Nighttime, turn around 



Lonely is the city tonight 



Nighttime, all around 



Lonely in the city tonight 







Grey people stare at a static sky (as you will) 



Ours is not to question why 







Same thing, every time 



It always seems to need what I'm not 



To all the hopeful ones: 



Nobody gives a fuck what you've got 







I only wish that I could pray to god 



(but you will) 



Stay longer 



Please don't leave me alone 







Bastard, mother, father, no... 



Time passed quicker than you will ever know 



And they can push me harder 



But you know I'll never go 



And they will justify it, but you know 



It will take them slow 







[2] The girl from blue city



The lights from across the harbour 



And the boys are out on the corners 



Sex in the neon basements (red and smelly) 



And don't feel a thing (it's too cold to worry) 



So in the corner by the dock 



Where there's no light 



It smells like piss but no one knows 



And right now just to sleep would be alright 







...Feel old, gone where the feelings go 



...Gone now in a field of green 



Gone where feelings go...
