Deadly Lovely by Jack Licata

Xanny bars, Fancy cars
Tabloid news, the fight to choose
Building walls between our friends
With their ugly means and ugly ends
As the fires burn across the sand
Libertine puts out her hand
Take the chance you know you should
Do this world a little good...

Whoa is me
Have you seen my Libertine
Does she keep her fingers clean
as she dance across the scene?
Is she out breaking hearts
while the war machine they start?
God help us to bring her back home.

Its all the same, every day
TV screen is where they prey
Telling lies into our heads
You won't know the truth until you're dead
The poisons in the waters now
As the noxious gas springs from the ground
Libertine where have you gone?
Are we witnessing the fall of Rome?

Whoa is me
Have you seen my Libertine?
Does she keep her conscience clean
as she dance across the scene?
Is she out breaking hearts
while the war machines burn hot?
God help us bring her home tonight...

Oh no, its not right.
There won't be another chance to win this fight.
Oh no, no not this time.
We gotta fight now for our rights
We gotta fight to stay alive
We gotta fight for freedom, right?
RIGHT?!

Where are you?
Where are you?
Libertine, where are you?

Lyrics:

What's with all this fast talk
And these faster moving hands?
Why is it that love
Has to be a game of chance?
Why am I so good at turning
Treasure into trash
It always comes down
To just one simple fact

If it's not you...Then it's no one
If it's not you...I dont want to know
If it's not you...It's just not you
Then I'm just another lonely fool

I do my best to have some patience
Try my hardest to be a man
When she says she can wait
But I'm not sure I can
Tell myself it's just an urge
And this too shall pass
But for the first time
I'm not so sure bout that

Repeat Chorus

Solo

Repeat Chorus
