bad guy
Egodog Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't tell me
It's too soon for you
Don't you beg
Give me a sign
Give me time
Once I say that it's alright
We fuck tonight and I'll make up your mind
Black hands
Dead eyes
And secrets to hide

I'll be the sin
I'll be the crime
I'll be the lie
And I'll be playing the bad guy
I'll wear a friend time after touch
And I'll be playing the bad guy

If conversation was your true intent
You should've thought twice to wear that dress
How can I, how can I face myself without your notch on my belt

Mean streak, cold stare
And darkness despair

I'll be the sin
I'll be the crime
I'll be the lie
And I'll be playing the bad guy
I'll be the obscene, I'll be the swine
And I'll be playing the bad guy

Sometimes
Once in awhile
No means yes

Tonight I think I'll be right in my scene
Cat calls as I hit the screen

Red ass
Red hands
Yeah, a sinister plan

I'll be the sin
I'll be the crime
I'll be the lie
And I'll be playing the bad guy
I'll be the lust
I'll be inside
And I'll be playing the bad guy

I'll be the vice
I'll take what's mine
And I'll be playing the bad guy
I'll be a star
I'll be alive
Playing the bad guy

Take what's mine
Playing the bad guy




I'll be playing the bad guy
I'll be the bad guy
