Mister Bubbles - Wouldn't Go Back (feat. Tim McKinstry)

I was cruising in the desert with my new brah Satan
He needed a break from the wife and kids he left back there in Dayton
He pointed to the horizon; there was a kingdom just for me
He thought it'd be tantalizing, some kind of test by realty
You know, I just don't know
I said, listen here, Old Scratch, we have our differences
And just by hanging out here like this, we're gonna suffer from the inferences
Shut the fuck up, he suggested; here's what's on the table
It's sublime in its simplicity; resist it if you're able
I'll give you everything all around you
And some walking 'round money
For a lifetime of deja vu
It's so easy it's fucking funny
You know it makes you think
I wouldn't go back again
Just to end up here in the same place, no I
Wouldn't go back again just to see the world through the same face
No, I wouldn't go back; I'd rather leave the world without a single trace
Not for all the money in the world
Not for lovers tossed in the swirl
But I might come back for you just to
See who you've been talking to
JC stopped by; these were atypical bedfellows
He showed me blue skies and oceans and undulating meadows
He said, what's up, Lu, I'll take it from here
I'll make him indelible
Eternal life without any fear
Even for me, it's kind of incredible
It's cool man, hold the applause
I wouldn't go back again
Just to end up here in the same place, no I
Wouldn't go back again just to see the world with the same face
No, I wouldn't go back; I'd rather leave the world without a single trace
Not for all the money in the world
Not for lovers tossed in the swirl
But I might come back for you just to
See who you've been talking to
Getting older it's a young man's game
I didn't mind the journey, but if it's all the same
I wouldn't go through it all again
Unless I heard you call my name
Mr. B, of course, showed up; he said, this is my kind of gig
I'll make sure you come back not as a wombat or a pig
You'll be in the very same vessel that you enjoy right now
With the mind of a honey badger and the body of a sea cow
And so it begins again
I wouldn't go back again
Just to end up here in the same place, no I
Wouldn't go back again just to see the world through the same face
No, I wouldn't go back; I'd rather leave the world without a single trace
Not for all the money in the world
Not for lovers tossed in the swirl
But I might come back for you
Only for you
