Great White - Zebee

You think we look pretty good together? You think my jeans are made of leather? But I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young but I'm just backdated Substitute, your lies for fact Substitute, I see right through that Satan crap Substitute, I look all white but my dad was black Substitute, my fine looking suit's really made out of sack I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town faced east and east was facing south But now you dare to look me in the eye Those are crocodile tears that you cry A genuine problem you won't try To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by Substitute, me for him Substitute, my coke for gin Substitute, you for my mom Substitute, at least I'll get my washing done But I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young but I'm just backdated I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town faced east and east was facing south But now you dare to look me in the eye Those are crocodile tears that you cry A genuine problem you won't try To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by Substitute, your lies for fact Substitute, I see right through that Satan crap Substitute, I look all white but my dad was black Substitute, my fine looking suit's really made out of sack Substitute, me for him Substitute, my coke for gin Substitute, you for my mom Substitute, at least I'll get my washing done

Mercury creeping on the sea How she wails, flails her arms and weeps Accumulation of debris Lips apart, flapping as a lark For in the dark there is release Every familiarity scares as the great white shark Oh, to build walls with golden gills Spike in hand, high above the sand To kill the sanctuary Every mile that is owned only stands still by the grace of the stone Every familiarity scares as the great white shark Look, daughter an owl, listen to her howl I howled when you were born to me And you're alive with a breath you can't see Oh! By the grace of this dream

Fallen angel, ripped and bruised Think on better days Life is rude, treats you bad Tears your wings away Raise your eyes, to star and sky Believe in fly aways Take your dreams, your broken schemes And sweep the past away Fly, lonely angel High above these streets of fire Fly, lonely angel Far away from mad desire Hollywood ain't paved with gold It's just a trick of light Sunset falls on stars of old And blinds you with its light A spider's web of tangled lives Lays stretched across the hills From distances it's glistening Llike El Dorado's halls Fly, lonely angel High above these streets of fire Fly, lonely angel Leave behind the mad desire The dream was light, and fragrant nights But how were you to know? The streets are hard, they're mean and scarred Where only fools find gold Fly, lonely angel High above these streets of fire Fly, lonely angel Leave behind the mad desire Fly, lonely angel Spread your wings another way Fly, lonely angel Find a better way a better day
