Lullaby by The Last Skeptik Lyrics
[Verse 1, Jehst]
I'm way past Half Past
Flag flown half-mast
Man are so half-arsed
They don't know hard graft
Need to know
Can't ask
Loud voice
Last laugh
He don't ever sing on his hooks
And he can't dance!
Can't cook
Won't cook
Find him in the phone book
Look him up
Under 'crook'
Shook at the breath-taking task
That he undertook
No one ever understood
Now they're looking boog
While all his plans are coming good
Neighbourhood pinball
Wizard with the Swingball
On the front lawn
Golf sweater with the pringle
2.4ing
Yiggy yes yallin
My man get a fix
Got the potion in the cauldron
That's really all that I'm recalling
God got my voicemail
Guess I never answered my calling
But now I'm going all in
Break it all down on this recording
Your standard is appalling
[Chorus, Jehst]
It's just another day in the life of this guttersnipe
Long kiss good night
I'm singing you a lullaby
Respect my authoriti
Never try undermine
Long kiss good night
I'm singing you a lullaby
[Verse 2, Jehst]
Lend a ear
Listen here
Sipping Sailor Jerry's with the ginger beer
Twisting bare zoots
Now I'm in the clear
Years past
Trying to get a grasp
Of the current task
Are you going pass
With flying colours
Or flunk the class?
Thunder-heart booming in my chest
Like a tribal drum
Saddle up
About to ride out
Now the time has come
High and drunk
Off the thai and rum
What kind of lifestyle is this
For a guy to retire from?'
My biro got my back like a hired goon
Pyromaniac (fire!)
High plains
High noon
Do what I choose
The brand new
Coming soon to your iTunes
Blessed off the itals
Killing off virals
It's a one-horse-town
Knock, knock
Open up
Billy bust doors down
Dawn raiding
You'll be a stain on the pavement
Rain checker
Mic checker
Prior engagement
[Chorus, Jehst]
It's just another day in the life of this guttersnipe
Long kiss good
I'm singing you a
Respect my
Never try
Long kiss good
I'm singing you a lullaby
I'm way past Half Past
Flag flown half-mast
Man are so half-arsed
They don't know hard graft
Need to know
Can't ask
Loud voice
Last laugh
He don't ever sing on his hooks
And he can't dance!
Can't cook
Won't cook
Find him in the phone book
Look him up

Shook at the breath-taking task
