original album: Flip Nasty "Pronounced 'Snausages'"
written by Cody Weathers
lyrics
In the beginning, I'd have sworn to you that I was to your liking, but somewhere in a strange translation, I blew it like I always do. Oh, rally around me, ye losers, and I will lead you to greater defeats at the hands of courage than you ever dreamt of in your shy former strategies. One, two, three, you're counting to ten. Why won't you help me please you? I'm not the worst fish in the sea. When I arrive, I'm not your kind --I don't taste sweet to you. Chorus: If there's rain today, I'll raise my eyes again. If there's rain today, I'll raise my eyes again. Give me a little shower, since you gave me no good umbrella. If there's rain today, I'll raise my eyes again. Could you forgive me for the mystery thing that I have done to you? Red is passion, blood of children; my yellow heart hangs heavy with you. Oh, where is my kingdom, I am calling you to one last stand. Princess, love has cut me with a stranger wound than hate's cold hand. One, two, three, you're counting to ten. I didn't keep my secrets. When I said I loved you, that is what I meant. When I'm behind, I'm not your kind --I don't taste sad to you. Chorus. I'm not blind, but there's something that I'm missing here. If there's rain today, I'll raise my eyes again. Here in the present, I'm uncertain of the road I'm on. Map me, scrap me, I'm unhappy. I can't believe how fast you've gone. Now a confession from a bitter day that should've been so sweet: you surprised me, blunt and steady; ashamed and red, I let you leave. One, two, three, you're counting to ten. I had the best intentions. everything I sent you I would send again. In my dreams, I have looked into your shadow's eyes. Chorus. I don't believe in poison apples or fairy tales; I don't think anything is true. I really think that you should give me better chances, but I don't expect that's what you'll do. In my dreams, I have looked into your shadow's eyes.
