"Cut Him Up" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

Downtown in the heart of the city
Everybody's fine and, oh, so pretty
Out on the town in the heart of the city

Feeling tough now, lookin' bitchy
Most days I brawl, crawl and never smile
Way down in the heart of the city stay away, sir
Been dark and hard for a good while, a good, long while

Cut him up
Don't like the way you're lookin' at me
Cut him up
You got a madness, says I can't be free
And I, I cut him up
Give in, give in, give in, give in, give in...

Out to have a good time
See that dude runnin' pain
Like a powder monkey
Out to have a damn good time
Lie all you want, man
I'll never be your junkie

Cut him up
Don't like the way you're lookin' at me
Cut him up
You got a madness, says I can't be free
And I, I cut him all up

Cut him up
I'll take your madness, I'll set you free
Cut him up
Give me your madness, all of your madness
Cut him up
And I, I cut him all up

Cut him up
Kiss the madness, so much madness
Cut him up
I cut him up

I better walk away, better walk away
(Better walk away, better walk away)
'Fore I cut 'em all up...

Yeah, kiss the madness, cut him up...

Kiss the madness, I cut him all up
Kiss the madness, I cut him all up
I better walk away, better walk away
You better walk away, you better walk away
