Bad Boys go to Heaven

Were you ever proud?

Did you ever listen?

Or was I just the noise in the background

Coming from your kitchen fan?

Bruises blushing through the pentimento

As I stare down three stories out the window

I’m giving up

Can I twist any of your words

Into love?

Twist any of your words

Into love?

Bad boys they

Go to heaven

Good girls they

Bash their fucking heads in

A love like daisies wilting at the kitchen table

Look down like bent necks of gleaners at the stables

I’m giving up

I’ll just laugh it off

Cuz the more I try to do about it

The closer I am to be without it

You’ll just laugh it off

Cuz what are you gonna do about it

What are you gonna do about it now?

Sickness dripping down at the foot of the tree

A rope around the neck runs in the blood

For girls like me

That’s why they say

Bad boys go to heaven

Good girls bash their fucking heads in

I’ll just laugh it off

Cuz the more I try to do about it

The closer I am to be without it

You’ll just laugh it off

Cuz what are you gonna do about it

What are you gonna do about it now?

(Something inside of me begging me to make this easier

Like that highway through the river)

Would you be proud if I showed you less emotion?

All I ever wanted was all your love and devotion

I’ll just laugh it off

Cuz the more I try to do about it

The closer I am to be without it

You’ll just laugh it off

Cuz what are you gonna do about it

What are you gonna do about it now?
