Ego Trip

from A La Deriva by Making Movies

/

lyrics

I'll be your trophy wife or your candy queen
Could be your simple man or your tangled dream
I’ll be your Jesus Christ or your ego, trip if you come here at all


Could be your preacher kid or your junkie friend
Who'd stay faded here right up to the end
On a night when you are too drunk to think, I'll come where you are


Because this town is full of lust, but all I need is a friend
Who would come when I call, would you come when I call?


I'd be the trophy scar on your naked skin
I’ll be your other man yeah your sickest sin
Won't be your saving grace or your worst mistake if you come here at all

But now I'm scared as hell when my ego fails
It's been the darkest year that I've ever felt
So I play the cards right as their dealt, if I fold or I fall

Because my mind is full of dust, and the devil is in the wings
And I can hear her call, she don't scare me at all

I need you right now, I read you right no
I need you right no, I read you right now

Hey, oye que pena la pelea entre el orgullo y el cariño
Hey, oye que pena que no entiendo ni el orgullo y el cariño

(translation)
Seré tu mujer bandera, tu reina zalamera
Seré tu hombre sencillo, tu sueño complicado
Podría ser tu Jesucristo o inflarte el ego, si aquí vienes del todo

Seré el hijo de pastor, o tu yonqui amigo
Que se desvanece contigo hasta el final
En una noche que el licor no te deje pensar, vendré donde estés

Porque la lujuria colma la ciudad, pero sólo necesito a un amigo
Que venga cuando le llame

Seré esa cicatriz de orgullo en tu piel desnuda
O podré ser ese otro hombre, tu perversión más baja
No seré tu redención ni tu peor error, si aquí vienes del todo
Porque estoy aterrado cuando mi ego flaquea
Ha sido el año más tenebroso que he vivido
Así que juego la mano que me ha tocado, sea que me rinda o que caiga


Porque tengo la mente llena de polvo, y el diablo me rodea
Y escucho su llamado, pero no me aterra

Te necesito ahora, te entiendo no
Te necesito no, te entiendo ahora

Hey what a shame the struggle between pride and affection
Hey what a shame that I don’t understand neither pride or affection
