Slippin' Jimmy
I ain't no Slippin' Jimmy
...but they call me that anyway.
For the mistakes I made as a stupid kid
I'm held accountable today.
In the mind of the insane
In the rat maze of a brain
I'm still the one to blame.
Did some bad things
..but never killed a soul
Still, I lost control.
But I ain't no Slippin' Jimmy!
You can call me by my name
The one you gave me when you brought me to life, screaming
Into your game.
If there is no forgiveness, there can be no love
And maybe it just isn't worth the trouble,
Loving you, but always Slippin' Jimmy
Your greatest mistake,
Oh fakest of the fake.
I'm done.
