Greatest Hits - Jay Brannan

To bitter from sweet

Like liquid to concrete

It's tough to digest

Life rips through your chest

And just takes a heartbeat

You can't check your pain

Aboard the shame train

And maybe i'm out of line

But if you show me yours

I'll sing you mine

A punch in the gut

Some black 'round the eye

There's red from my lips

And i'm asking god why

There's a bump on my head

And a hole in my heart

If there's one thing i've learned it's

That these are my greatest hits

I don't sing for the rainbow

Cuz i taste the rain

They spit "cheer up" and they scoff

I laugh "cheer down or f**k off"

Then get roughed up against the grain

You may never be happy

And i still see your worth

Someday we'll be less miserable

We'll dye our heads invisible

Wrapped up in robes not of this earth

Not of this earth

Not of this earth

Not of this earth

A punch in the gut

Some black 'round the eye

There's red from my lips

And i'm asking god why

There's a bump on my head

And a hole in my heart

If there's one thing i've learned it's

That these are my greatest hits

Would you read a book if somebody

Took out all the good pages

So we did some ***

Gave out some hugs rattled a few cages

Have you made mistakes

Let off the brakes confess uncleanliness

Not to feel bad about

But to embrace your humanness

A punch in the gut

Some black 'round the eye

There's red from my lips

And i'm asking god why

There's a bump on my head

And a hole in my heart

If there's one thing i've learned it's

That these are my greatest hits
