Edmund Temper - Amigo the Devil

I have a heart like a diamond

I have a mouth made of lead

I have a way with my words

And when I talk they believe every word I’ve said

There’s a shine in my smile

It blinds everyone’s way

I have a way with my hands

And when I play with their heart

It turns to clay

So I pray to God

«How could you give them the gift of life

Then curse me with the hands to take it away?

I never asked you to move the mountain

I just want the strength to climb it and find a different way»

I got a hundred pound problem that I’m leaving on the side of the road

Hit the highway and I won’t come back until I’m not alone

I got a game to play if you like to lose

You can turn me on but, honey, I’m bad news

When you’re born a shadow in everybody’s mind

Beauty is just a cancer you leave behind

Things would be different if I were a daughter

I dove headfirst into a pool without water to learn how to swim

There once was a boy who lived in the basement

His breath shook the earth when he grew impatient

I got a hundred pound problem that I’m leaving on the side of the road

Hit the highway and I won’t come back until I’m not alone

I got a game to play if you like to lose

You can turn me on but, honey, I’m bad news

When I stare into the mirror

I see all the parts I know are wrong

I can’t help but wonder which side I’m really on

And when the whole world points to hopeless

I just hope it wasn’t all pointless

And their burden weighs too much to carry alone

I got a hundred pound problem that I’m leaving on the side of the road

Hit the highway and I won’t come back until I’m not alone

I got a game to play if you like to lose

You can turn me on but, honey, I’m bad, bad, bad news
