Song from a Toxic Apartment
“That” (reprise)
music & lyrics ©ethan gold / lonely cities music (ascap)
I was a man
Not the shadow of a man
When you shudder to see “that”
I’m that, I’m that,
This is what I am
I was a man, not the shadow of a man
When you point your finger at “that”
I’m that, I’m that
This is what I am
Come on Beat it Down
music & lyrics ©ethan gold / lonely cities music (ascap)
They sure beat it down all into me, yeah
they sure beat it down all into me, yeah
i might beat something down all into her, yeah
[they sure beat something down all into me, yeah
/
they sure beat it down all into her, yeah]
[new/old]
mom’s telling me
if it doesn’t kill me it makes me strong
so i should be strong now
but i’m not, haven’t you noticed?
but someday, i’ll make my escape
and i’ll be free
who then can hurt me
except myself
won’t that be something
come on an’ beat it down all into me, yeah
come on an’ beat it down all into me, yeah
come on an’ beat it down all into me, yeah
come on beat it down!
[or do whole song first person PLURAL]
LIKE THAT WE CAN HEAR DICTION “THEY SURE”
Come on Beat it Down

music & lyrics ©ethan gold / lonely cities music (ascap)
I’m in so much trouble this time
I must have done some terrible crime
Wake up my little lamb
I see you
(Welcome to a world of lies)
I’ll be you
(Where everyone’s an evil spy)
I see you
Follow the crooked stairs back down
Nobody hears if you don’t make a sound
Hidden away that’s right where I’ll be found
A black bird carries the world around
Wake up my little lamb
I see you
(Welcome to a world of lies)
I’ll free you
(Where everyone’s an evil spy)
I see you
(Look into my sorry eyes)
I’ll be you
(Make yourself a good disguise and locked up, locked up)
I see you
(Welcome to a world of lies, locked up, locked up)
I’ll free you
(Where everyone’s an evil spy, locked up, hung up)
I see you
(Held down like you’re small again)
Peacocks, dropped out my window into the shallow pool
If you see their bodies, I was being naughty, take me to the ttopy
I couldn’t see my witnesses
Can’t get away
I can’t get away
[repeat chorus 2]
Nonstop
music & lyrics ©ethan gold / lonely cities music (ascap)
Drunk and tired but I still got some oil to burn
Drunk and I want to slurk where I won’t be spurned
The streets echo my steps
The girl couldn’t stay
Midtown’s just a couple a miles away, yeah
Anything you want, everything you need
City’s gonna tease you ‘til you bleed
Drunk and tired but some john’s got money to burn
Drunk and tired but I still got some tricks to turn
Just like plutonium
I feel natural
I’m going to suck on the world ‘til I’m full, yeah
Anything you want, everything you need
City’s gonna tease you ‘til you bleed
Anything you want, everything you need
City’s gonna tease you ‘til you —
I can hardly stand but I ain’t going home
A Whore, A Whore, A Whore, A Whore
A Whore, A Whore, A Whore, A Whore
Drunk and tired there’s no cure like a shot of sleaze
Where nothing’s real, but they aim to please
The streets echo my steps
The girls never stay
Midtown’s just a couple a miles away, yeah
Anything you want, everything you need (I’m a naughty boy, I’m a naughty boy)
City’s gonna tease you ‘til you bleed (I’m a naughty boy, I’m a naughty boy)
Anything you want, everything you need (I’m a naughty boy, I’m a naughty boy)
City’s gonna tease you ‘til you —
I can hardly stand but I ain’t goin’ home
Anywhere I land I will call my own
I can hardly stand but I ain’t goin’ home
Anywhere I land I will call my own
On Edge (celestial porch)
music & lyrics ©ethan gold / lonely cities music (ascap)
I’m on edge
I’m on edge
I’m on edge
I’ve always been on edge
Wasted too much time
Being told pain would make me strong
Rollercoaster mind
Can’t stop til I get it wrong
I’m on edge
I’m on edge
I’m on edge
I’ve always been on edge
Came in my sleep
Makin love to a spanish girl
Came in my sleep
Kissin the priest
At the end of the ride
On the edge of a suicide
At the end of the ride
On the edge of a suicide
At the end of the ride
On the edge of a suicide
At the end of the ride
On the edge of a
