Fredrick John Pugsley - Dark And Lonely Child Lyrics

My daddy was a working man
He was caught in a life he didn't understand
He lived up on the high rise states
When he saw the light it was just too late

My mamma was a mixed up girl
And she lived her life in a mixed up world
We left her standing by the gates
How come we love the things that we love to hate

Well you can go crazy
Just staying alive
You do what you have to
When you're a dark and lonely child

Your heart can grow a brand new skin
You can twist the knife but you won't get in
The stars above will fade and die
Before you know all the reasons why

The thunder and lightning
The wind blowing wild
The moon and the shadows
And a dark and lonely child

Well you can go crazy
Just staying alive
You do what you have to
When you're a dark and lonely child

Don't go you can just say no
You can be who you want to be
