Stuntman
(Artist: Bats on a Swing / Songwriter: Damien Somville)
I’m a stuntman in California yo
And I’m gonna crash my head, until I wake up all dead
Until it’s finally late
Too late to care for less than a scene
With fake blood and big fire bombs
No humbug no senteria no
I’m not gonna lie to you, the so-called puppet behind
All dose fantastic falls
And gigantic fireworks
Is nothing but the stand-in of own rapid shadow
I’ll give you fire and brimstones
Non sense and hullabaloos
Give you twaddles and heroes
Legends encased in a zoo
My helmet is a lucky charm
And if I ever break my neck, it’ll get me straight out of hell
Breaking the gates out to heaven
And if you look up in the sky
You may see the first of the looping the loop star
I’ll give you fire and brimstones
Non sense and hullabaloos
Give you twaddles and heroes
Legends encased in a zoo
I’ll give you fire and brimstones
Non sense and hullabaloos
Give you twaddles and heroes
Legends encased in a zoo
