lyrics

Once there was a home for me
Waiting in the darkness with a beacon always lit
Once there was a home, but now there’s nothing
But stone walls struggling to keep themselves from crumbling

And time was you were kind to me
Kept me draped in fineries and I was living high
But you had your designs for me
Demanding my obedience, commanding me so sweetly

Saying “That would be pretty neat”
Oh wouldn’t that be neat
If you would love me like I loved you darling then
Oh wouldn’t that be…

I walked down to the candy store
And bought my monthly supply and a little bit more
Took my surplus and I gave it to you
‘Cuz Mama would remind me not to test the chains that bind me

And you said “Baby, that is so sweet,
You work so hard for me that you must be beat
Beautiful sores blossoming on your feet
Wear them for my glory, I’ll remember you tomorrow”

I say “That would be pretty neat”
Oh wouldn’t that be neat
If you would love me like I loved you darling then
Oh wouldn’t that be…

And all your promises don’t mean shit
If I can’t hold their value in my hand
How can I know where I stand when your love,
Your love is a scam?

My heart is telling me it doesn’t feel right
But I’m too lazy now to put up a fight
Oh happy day when I can leave you behind
Alone and slowly rottin' til you find yourself forgotten

I say “That would be pretty neat”
Oh wouldn’t that be neat
If you would love me like I loved you darling then
Oh wouldn’t that be neat
If you would need me like I need you darling now
That would be pretty neat

The B'Dinas Kansas City, Missouri

We are Kansas City's favorite purveyors of Homemade Rock 'n Roll since 2009. We are rock, blues, funk, and a dash of psychedelia. We are party-ready, freak-flag-flyers, and limit-testers. We are three ladies and a young man, with all hands on deck for composing and singing. We are creating a collision of the brightest ideas from four musical minds, a concoction designed to make you feel fine. ... more
