When A Pretty Face
Adam Green Lyrics

Robin Hood is breaking up his merry men
Robin Hood is causing a separation among his companions

Stockli is changing up the story end
Stockli is altering how the story concludes

Jumping over tables to get close to her
Using forceful means to try and approach a woman

That's not the sign of a philosopher
Such an action does not indicate philosophical thought or contemplation

Falling into bed above the camera stand
Having sexual relations in an elevated position on a camera platform

Waking up embarrassed with a giant friend
Regretting a sexual encounter with someone of large stature

Calling all the seasons of the status quo
Highlighting all the typical and expected societal norms

Never known a pleasure as the pressure grows, oh
Experiencing discomfort and anxiety as expectations increase

Two were seen walking on Saint Marks place
Observing a couple strolling down Saint Marks place

They both got breakfast and they both got eggs
Both members of the couple ordered and consumed breakfast with eggs

Then there was the crash of the Fourth of July
Referring to a particular incident on July 4th involving a loud noise

Meant a lot to her and so he didn't even mind, but
The incident held significance for her, and he didn't object to her reaction

When the pretty face could not have its way
When someone attractive cannot get what they desire

The face disappeared in complete disarray
Their appearance underwent a significant change due to disappointment

So take me for a walk in the city tonight
Accompany me for an evening stroll throughout the city

I've been an angel but I need to fight or it's over
I've behaved well, but I must resist temptation or else our relationship will fail

You live in the basement of a three story house
Residing in the cellar of a tall residential building

Never knew the neighbors till they found this mouse
It wasn't until discovering a rodent that the subject met their nearby residents

Girlfriend never looks an ex in his eyes
The partner avoids eye contact with former lovers

Lady bird falls for a secular guy, I
A particular bird showed interest in an irreligious gentleman, and I witnessed it

Remember all the days before he cast his net
Recalling memories of prior to someone's romantic involvement

He's hungry as he's never seen the doctor yet
The individual is famished but hasn't received medical attention

And every good protection that he's ever known
The only coping mechanisms the individual has utilized in the past

Has never been a pleasure as the pressure grows, at
These mechanisms no longer provide comfort as the pressure increases

Christmas they were dining from the garbage chute
During the holiday, they ate food retrieved from the building's waste system

Before then he models her his bathing suit
It was prior to this event when he showcased his swimwear to her

She sets him on another shopping spree
She influences him to embark on another shopping excursion

He tags along not so thankfully, just
The gentleman accompanies her not expressing gratitude, merely going along with it

Skipping on the sidewalk coming home from lunch
Joyfully skipping down the paved walkway following a midday meal

Like a movie star father never gave him much
The individual wasn't provided much by their dad, yet still carries themselves like a celebrity

His place is in the seat of a strangers car
The person spends a great deal of time being driven by people they don't know

Place is in the head of a battlestar
The individual feels like they control a powerful space vessel in space combat

Oh, private I's and the truth they uncover
Private investigators and the revelations they unearth

Oh, jealous lies make for one jealous lover
A suspicious individual who tells lies due to their jealousy

When the pretty face can not have its way
When someone attractive cannot get what they desire

Face disappears in complete disarray
Their appearance underwent a significant change due to disappointment
