Chaser

Lyrics by Michael Oliva
From the CD "Modern Love"
(P) 2006 Getsemani Music (ASCAP)


Yeah the chaser, the chaser
Filling his face sir
With Pall Mall, eight ball, alcohol
Music ringing in his head
Like the cry of the elderly wishing they were dead

This town is full of its fashion whores
Who would sell their souls for burning sores
I’m tired of this town but in love with the fake
Fake people blaming others for their mistakes

Yeah the boredom kills the brain cells in his mind
and leaves him staring out up to the sky
Bring the chaser down

Oh the white picket fences protecting the senseless
Yeah the fences, the fences, hold their defenses
Scared and old, we lose our senses
White picket fences hold our defenses

So let’s tell a few lies and run off to war
We got some graves laid out
But the war wants more
Pray to a God and rely on faith
Never learn from the past just repeat its mistakes

Yeah the boredom kills the brain cells in his mind
and leaves him staring out up to the sky
Bring the chaser down

Boy don’t run
Your time will come

Yeah the boredom kills the brain cells in his mind
and leaves him staring out up to the sky
Bring the chaser
Bring the chaser
Bring the chaser down
