Too proud to be a beggar, too blind to be a thief Turned every trick together, left nothing up his sleeve He gathered every answer and burnt it all for this So hold your tongue for the junk apprentice He always was a sinner, tried to dress up like a saint The foulest mouth at dinner, loner at the masquerade The wine he'd make from water always ended up as piss Deathly drunk was the junk apprentice We’d wake up like a blind man trying to find his shoes And still be walking barefoot in the afternoon Sweat from a cadaver, saliva from a kiss He sucked his thumb, did the junk apprentice Laughed out of court like a guilty criminal Trying to clear his name The gallows swung high for the junk apprentice Trying to cheat so late in the game You think you're loved for who you are? Man, you're resented for what you’re not There's one way out for the ones who bother The rest of us think it's not important enough So wait in the wings for a chance you'll never get Spill tears on a fractured mirror, hold your breath Letras de cancionesAnd play the worst part over again No way, you'll never understand You can only fear the worst Under heavens, about to burst Trade your sorrows for a curse And scatter dust upon the grave Of the man who bears your name What was that? What did you say? Just laugh, hyena, laugh While ministers and artists washed the bloodstains off their boots The judges hosted orgies, and the pimps were in cahoots An angel of the gutter spat an order from her lips Saying, "Don't you cry, little junk apprentice" From Letras Mania
