One Hit Wonder

Loopy says he likes it up on top

Yes he knows if he ever lets go

The pretty machine will swallow him whole

He has no fear

He has no sense of shame

He will not stop until everybody everywhere wants to know his name

The one hit wonder

He likes the big time

He says he wants to live the kind of life

That will make the folks back home all bitch and whine

He knows if he ever even gets the chance

He'd sell his soul to make the monster dance

They can't hurt you unless you let them

Loopy says he sure does like the good life

Yes he knows all those women who scheme

Are just pretty pictures in the pretty machine

He knows if he ever even gets to try

He will bite down hard to make the monster cry

He knows if he ever even gets a chance

He'd sell his soul to make the monster dance

They can't hurt you unless you let them

I will say it again

They cannot hurt you unless you let them

Loopy says he likes it up on top

He prays to god and he hopes like hell

That the pretty machine

They will never fail

He has no fear

He doesn't really even have the time

He knows that the world is in love

With the pretty machine

The one hit wonder

He likes the big time

He wants to live the kind of life

That will make the folks back home scream, bitch, and whine

He knows if he ever even gets to try

He will bite down hard to make the monster cry

He knows if he ever even gets a chance

He'd sell his soul to make the monster dance

He knows if he ever even gets to play

He will stomp like god to make the monster say

They can't hurt you unless you let them

They cannot hurt you unless you let them
