Some Other Flame [Genevieve x Papa]

[Genevieve x Papa] Sitting waiting on a train Vices call my name Spinning like a weather vane Tired of the rain Searching for a dream to sell Wishing for a well Some feelings I have never felt Stories I can tell [Papa] I'm always running just ta find Summ'n that'll freeze the time Always on the path of bein' a better man Tired of livin like I got a life of lies when I got nothin' ta hide Walkin' on eggshells around you The rain's been washin away our values I made a wish walkin' down that avenue All I got back was a bit a bad news from Matthew [Genevieve x Papa] Life it seems has gone insane But only I'm to blame Happiness a novelty that's cold reality Pass me down some novacaine Cause I don't wanna feel a thing I close my eyes and see her face Lord I'm never gonna be the same [Papa] He said she's past view I wrote a novel, Sue, engraved it in a casket too A basket case yeah I numbed my veins Full of your faint fumes It was in plain view My feelings weren't the same for you Could have been straight too, 'nstead of playin' games But yeah, you found another flame [Genevieve x Papa] She could have had some other flame On some sunny day There might have been another way On some other plane She could have had somebody Out of everybody Why oh why did she pick me She could have had someone Out of everyone Why oh why did she pick me [Papa] Yeah, I coulda been another flame Why did she pick me to be the burnout? Blew me an' blew me out I'd have called, but heard you were at the company luau How's Lew now? He happy you clamped my wick? Maybe I should call Nick an' tell him he's on your top di-[bleep] list And that list is loud, says you're cryin' howl acts as a sirens mouth So foul Some days I don't wanna feel Yeah, I just throw in the towel Why's you pick me? Huh, probably 'cause I'm the only one that saw through your scowl [Genevieve x Papa] I could have been some other flame On some sunny day There could have been another way On some other plane I could have been somebody Out of everybody Why oh why did I pick me I should have been someone Out of everyone Why oh why did I pick me? [Papa] I coulda been another flame, to another dame who didn't bout me, shout at me Instead I was polluted with tree rot, peelin' all that bark from you, that you pulled from me in the street lot Publicly humiliated, hushed, I rushed ta clean ma thoughts You beat my heart so bad I had ta beat it into ma beat box Now I'm stuck missin' you, a weak plot Got a weak spot [Genevieve] I'll keep writin' the fire away til this tree drops
