Brittle Bones Nicky 2

Rare Americans

Welcome friends! Hello foes

Thought my story was over, book closed?

Think again, we′re nowhere closeMy eyes are open, cheers, we toast

I am a mother fucking ghost (He's a ghost!)

My heart beat blanked, through the ground I sank

I met a driver, his name was Hank

Told me we were on the way, when I asked to where

He said, "Can′t say

He himself decides your fate

I'll drop you off right in front of the gates"

A roller coaster kinda night

My whole life right in plain sight

Saw my mom, held her hand

Couldn't wait to hug her in the promised land

A rush of love, flight of doves

I must be trippin′, what a drug

Am I going to heaven or hell?

A question I have always asked myself

Brittle Bones Nicky

You were crafty and tricky

It′s said that you were gold

It's said that you were gold!

Welcome, welcome Nicky

Welcome to heaven!

(Welcome to heaven!)

Doors open up, I was ushered in

Hank said, "Good luck to ya kid"

A sign on the door, it read "fate"

Two arrows pointed to two gates

I′m a shoe in, I don't hate

God laughed right in my fucking face

"No kid, you made many mistakes

Started with the pie to Shifty′s face

Go be with your mates, scoundrels, fakes

You pay for your sins in my place"

Mom looked on, without a trace

I was cast away, thrown, hell's gate

"This ain′t fair, you dealt those cards

I made the most of a terrible start"

No voice came back, laughs from the pack

Spit on my shoes and clawed at my back

I guess I belong in hell

Is God the devil himself?

Brittle Bones Nicky

You're not crafty or tricky

You're a son of a bitch, you′re alone

Welcome to your new home

It was a fucking zoo, rotting in spew

Caged, a bird, bruised black and blue

I cried, "I gotta get out of this place"

I heard a voice, "Only one way"

It was Ben, it′d been years

Saved him from the three musketeers

Man, I was happy to see his face

"I owe you one, I'll help you out of this maze"

"Approach the devil, with venomous grace

Tell him you′ll fuck with the human race

He may let you out, a ghost, a pawn

To scare the shit out of who he wants

If you serve time, do despicable crimes

The devil might let you into heaven in time

Lines right there for you to plead

So say a prayer and get on your knees"

I gotta get outta this hell

Would you sell your soul to save yourself?

I'm not gonna get pushed around

I′m not going down, down, down! (down!)

I'm not going down!

"C′mon in, take a seat"

He turned around, only saw his feet

The voice I knew, I'd just heard

He turned around, it was God, he slurred

"Surprised? Most of 'em are

I′m Mufasa, and I′m Scar"

Lily white shit gets old and trite

Tell me why you're in my sight"

"I′ll make you a deal, if I can't close

Banish me to the down below

I′m crafty and tricky

Millions of people dig me

Let me go back, make people crack

If I do you right, grant me a pass

To see my mom, and watch her back"

Brittle Bones Nicky

He was crafty and tricky

Yeah, that son of a bitch was gold!

Yeah, that son of a bitch was gold!

So here I am, not quite a man

But I always got a game plan

I'll ruffle feathers, fuck with folks

But you know me, I′m a good bloke
