Groovy Aardvark - Scrape Noise lyrics

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
