Lyrics
-
There's bad people in good places
Nothing I can do but wait
There's bad people in good places
And we can't make them go away
There's bad people in good places
Nothing you can do but wait
There's bad people in good places
And I can't make them go away

Slow down
You're not old enough to hear all of these
Bad sounds
How many times they hit and then you're
Dragged down
Glad frowns
Up and across your face like you're a
Mad clown
It's temporary, the night is scary cause something's in the dark
And you carry maternal wearings, don't let it hurt your heart
I swear the merry, that's ordinary, is never very far
Yea the glarings can leave you wary, but trust me, you're a star
Trust me, you're a star
Trust me, you're a star
It ain't about to end - all up in a flash
Unsafe, the house is red - all stuck in a clash
Your name, my mouth it says - all rough in a rasp
The cage, the doubt, the dread
I can smell the gas fumes from mad dudes with bad moods
These sad fools, they blast and smash through
Got their bad news to spread too
Til you're dread through, no excuse for the way they rude spew
Who - do - they think they are?
I'm not a fool - you - shine like a star
Why is those - who - can't hit the bar
They always choose - ruse - it's all a façade
They're always
-
Bad people in good places
Nothing I can do but wait
There's bad people in good places
And we can't make them go away
There's bad people in good places
Nothing you can do but wait
There's bad people in good places
And I can't make them go away

Emily Dickinson, "'Hope' is the Thing with Feathers" as read by Corinne
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me
-
There's bad people in good places
Nothing I can do but wait
There's bad people in good places
And we can't make them go away
There's bad people in good places
Nothing I can do but wait
There's bad people in good places
And we can't make them go away
There's bad people in good places
Nothing you can do but wait
There's bad people in good places
And I can't make them go away
