Read lyrics by SUPERFRYE for these select originals: Don't Count on Me, The Outsider, and Truth:
Don’t Count On Me (Original)
His lashes were thick and his hair was long
He thought everything he did was wrong
He took my hand and he played me a song
He took my hand and then he was gone
He said,
“don’t count on me, don’t count on me, honey, don’t count on me”
She said that’s all right life is short and I want to be free.
His hair was gold, and he spoke with a drawl he thought what he did didn’t matter at all.
He kissed my hand and he took me to tea.
In the end, he said darling it’s not you it’s me.
He said,
“don’t count on me, don’t count on me, honey, don’t count on me”
She said that’s all right life is short and I want to be free.
Spoken:
She got up on her 10 Speed, rode off into the sunset and lived happily ever after.
The Outsider (Original)
A cold rain fell
on the outskirts of town
Back alley footsteps
A Loaded gun
Waited for the one who left this town alone
A cold rain fell
The shop keep said, “well, I know you, son”
He sat down his coffee and turned
Officer Kowalski loaded his gun
Damp hung in the air as the drops slowed, steam rolled, over and over and over city streets
He walked
To stand outside The Darkness to stand outside The Darkness waiting…
2 AM silence of the small town hung like a presence over the pet store. Smash went the window outside, jumped in. He opened the cages one by one . Animals ran. They jumped out the windows and flew out the doors. Some stayed in their cages confused at their option of freedom.
Sirens sounded in the night air, he walked. Splashing water as he went from the bowls and his hands
Officer Kowalski began to run.
He never made it to the river.
They shot him down
They shut them down
They shot him down down down down down down.
Truth (Original)
All I want is you.
You and everything I do.
I can’t stay in this state too long
when all I want is you.
Take me to that higher ground
Take me to that higher plane
Take me to that fire free of me
Confusion is the dying prayer
Of a soul whose night is drawing near
Blur the line and grease the track because baby truth ain’t coming back you better run
Run run run
Help me my love
Help me my love
I know my name
Truth don’t find you when you stand in the dark
Light don’t bite you like the teeth of a shark
Truth don’t look for you
Truth looks for no one
Freedom often goes unused
Loved ones they stand accused
You’re the reason you’re the crime don’t look back babe you still got time but you better run
Run run run
Don’t find you when you stand in the dark
light don’t bite you like the teeth of a shark
Truth don’t look for you
Truth looks for no one
