Devin Townshend Bastard Lyrics

Bastard Lyrics

[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...
