NOISE SHY - words & music by Nate Butler
You got the right and the bite and the plight of the king of the country, yeah
You've got the right and the bite of the king of the country
You got the ride and abide by the king of the country
And you'll never have powers now that you, you realize that
You got the right and the bite and the plight of the king of the country, yeah
You've got the right and the bite of the king of the country
You got the ride and abide by the king of the country
And your assets are shrinking
And that's finally got you to thinking, where will you feel now?
I'm afraid of other people, so I live on my own
I don't trust myself, so I'm never alone
Don't notice me, I'm here to be seen
I want you like madness, but if you touch me I'll scream
Nobody makes big noise for shy boys
And I'm walking all the way home
Going to make some noise tonight ...
You got the right and the bite and the plight of the king of the country
You've got the right and the bite of the king of the country
You got the ride and abide by the king of the country
And you're smellin' the flowers now ... that ...
That you ... you realize that
You got the right and the bite and the plight of the king of the country, yeah
You've got the right and the bite of the king of the country
You got the ride and abide by the king of the country
And your assets are shrinking
And that's finally got you to thinking, where will you feel now?
I'm afraid of other people, so I live on my own
I don't trust myself, so I'm never alone
Don't notice me, I'm here to be seen
I want you like madness, so if you touch me I'll scream
Nobody makes big noise for shy boys
And I'm walking all the way home
Going to make some big noise tonight ...
Tonight ...
Make noise, shy boys
Make noise, shy boys
Make noise, shy boys
Take toys, make noise ...
