Lyrics Golden Promises - Born Ruffians

When was it promised to be good?
When did the sunlight turn to gold?
When I'm halfway around the sun
With a hash pipe and a machine gun
Oh, love, shoot me
Oh, love, shoot me soon
True beauty always has a cost
Self-reflection measures the loss
When the mirror begins to suffer
As the ego becomes un-stuck
As you drink and dance and fuck
And use up your allotted luck
Beautifully self-absorbed
Throw all of your friends overboard
Hey, huh
Hey, huh
Hey, huh
Hey, huh
We were halfway out of luck
When the levee released the flood
And the water turned into blood
But it promises me good
