Lyrics Flogging Molly

Flogging Molly

Selfish Man

I don't eat I just devour, everyone in every hour

All is me, is all I need and that's all that I care

Propelled through all this madness, by your beauty and my sadness

I'll never change or rearrange, till I've finished what I've started.

And life leads me here

It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me

Like the time, you slipped through my hands

I'll never understand why I'm such a Selfish Man

Walk around me not before me

I'll pretend not to ignore ye

But I'll compromise if I realize you can do something for me

I'm ugly and you know it, but you think that I'm a poet

So I'll keep the rhyme if I feel in time, it gets me where I'm going

And life leads me here

It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me

Like the time, you slipped through my hands

And I'll never understand

No I'll never understand, why I'm such a Selfish Man

All I heard was an unearthly silence

Apart from the violence, explode in my head

Where all at once was this moment of beauty

No more since it slew me, no never again, again, again

No I'll never understand

No I'll never understand, why I'm such a Selfish Man
