Prince Charming

Prince Charming
(Hetfield, Ulrich)


There's a black cloud overhead
That's me
And the poison ivy chokes the tree
Again it's me
I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street
You walk on by
I'm the little boy that pushes hard
And makes them cry

There's a dirty needle in you child
Ha, ha, stick me
Empty bottle still in hand,
Still dead, still me
I'm the suit and tie that bleeds the street
And still wants more
I'm the forty-five that's in your mouth
I'm the dirty, dirty whore

Yeah, look it's me
The one who can't be free
Much too young to focus, but too old to see
Hey, look it's me
What no one wants to see
See what you've brought this world,
Just what you wanna see

Hey, ma
Hey, ma, look it's me

And he wants to be called father now,
Me again, me
The marks inside your arm spell me,
Spell only me
I'm the nothing face that plants the bomb
And strolls away
I'm the one who doesn't look quite right
As children play

Yeah, look it's me
The one who can't be free
Much too young to focus, but too old to see
Hey, look it's me
What no one wants to see
See what you've brought this world,
Just what you wanna see

Hey, ma
Hey, ma, look it's me
It's me

Look up to me
What to be and what to fear
Look up to me
Look, it's me, like what you hear
See right through me
See the one who can't be free
See right through me
Look, it's me, what no one wants to see

Hey, hey, hey

See the black cloud over head
That's me
This poison ivy chokes the tree
Again it's me
And I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street
You walk on by
And I'm the little boy that pushes, pushes,
Makes them cry

Yeah, look it's me
The one who can't be free
Much too young to focus, but too old to see
Hey, look it's me
What no one wants to see
See what you've brought this world,
Just what you wanna see

Hey, ma
Hey, ma, look it's me
It's me
Hey, ma
Hey, ma, look it's me

See right through me
Look up to me
See right through me
Look up to me
