Music by Bret Figura with vocal written/performed by Dan Dougherty
lyrics
I was broke and needed a fix
I just needed someone to trick
I can sell anything
I can sell a match to a candlestick
I just want what you can afford
That and not a penny more
You practically walked right in my door
But my how the tables turned
How the lessons are learned
I met my match and I got burned
I was mistaken
I just got taken
And you left a mark
I should’ve known when to quit
I thought I could handle it
I was mistaken
I just got taken
And you left a mark
I can feel it
It’s a scar
Can you see it
Where you are
The worst part is never what they did to you
It’s how long you still let it get to you
Putting life on hold, planning my attack
Blink of an eye and I’m old
I might get you but I can’t get it back
The talent of the Flat Five is off the charts ... then you have Chris Ligon's wonderful and occasionally delightful subversive lyrics, the combination is great. Bret Figura
