Sour Song from Lucky by Atom & EV

V1:
The Sun is glaring down like a big lemon in the sky,
Bleaching every joy until it's sour.
And I can't look away, oh no, I can't turn my eye --
Twisting on my stem just like a flower.

Chorus:
You can tell by the way I look, by my general disposition.
There's a certain air about me: I've got a bad case of The Bitters.
Inflammation of the spirit! I caught it from loving you!
Now I can't be sweet, what's a girl to do?

Bridge:
And nothing you eat tastes right,
And the world is full of worries.
No matter what you can't sleep at night
Swollen heartbeat thudding in your ears . . .

V2:
If I had a million dollars, I'd throw it on the ground --
'Cause you can't buy love, or so I'm told.
Only thing I want, that's why I'm always hanging 'round,
And don't you tell me fortune favors the bold!
