Brittle Bones Nicky 3 Lyrics

- Meaning
Friends! Foes! What can I say?
I'm back for more, I couldn't stay away
People ask, where's part 3?
You ready? You ready for me?
I'm taking you back to age twenty
There was love, deceit, and mystery
When Shifty died, judge gave four years
The worst thing ever that a kid could hear
When you got a record, you're kinda screwed
So I got a job cleaning up hotel rooms
Then I saw a beauty that blew my mind
When a circus came to town one night
And threw a party in the banquet hall
That's where I met her, at The Chaplin ball
Her name was Karla, I was so transfixed
A rush of blood, straight to my ("WOW")
Mysterious as the flight of doves
That's tailed me ever since I lost my mom
She invited me to watch her fly trapeze
Fuck parole, I do as I please!
Nobody ever been there to look out for me
I'm all on my own in shit city
Nobody ever been there to look out for me
Caution to the wind, man it feels real free!
Should I?
Do it? (Ya!)
Screw it? (Ya!)
Prove it? (Ya!)
Even if its...
Risky? (Ya!)
Tricky? (Ya!)
Sticky? (Ya!)
Ok let it roll
Ok let it roll
We've got lions, we've got bears
We've got tigers in their underwear's
Step right up, Nicky!
Step right up!
Welcome to the circus!
I jumped in the back of a truck
I thought oh man, holy fuck!
The circus was tailor made for me
Oddballs, misfits, livin' free
Karla kept her cards real close
She was hesitant of trusting folks
One night we were out watching the stars
On a truck bed she finally opened up her heart
My parents sent us on a ship in the night
Escaped the war, fresh start at life
We docked at a little port town
Chaplin was out sniffing around
"Why two princesses, want new dresses?
Show you love, and what success is?"
For some reason he liked me
So I did some tricks Pockets taught me
"Jazzy hands, oh me likey
Come be a star, be like me!"
Just like that, it came to be
Brittle Bones Nicky, back to being tricky
Nobody ever been there to look out for me
I'm all on my own, in circus city!
Nobody ever been there to look out for me
Caution to the wind, man it feels real free!
Should I?
Do it? (Ya!)
Screw it? (Ya!)
Prove it? (Ya!)
Even if its...
Risky? (Ya!)
Tricky? (Ya!)
Sticky? (Ya!)
Ok let it roll
Who knew I'd become a star
Still a fugitive, my life's bizarre
I promised I'd never steal again
"A fool-proof plan", that's what Karla said
We'd escape from Chaplin's thumb
I didn't know the scary shit he'd done
Kept their money and papers in a safe
Key around his neck, girls knew their place
Could I say no? She's all I had
Risk was high, odds looked bad
In his box at intermission
"My star performer, dope magician"
"A trick you say! give us a preview!"
"Chaplin, could I demonstrate on you?"
"Yes, yes, impress these guests"
He had no clue I snatched the key from his neck
"I can't wait for your closing act"
If only they knew me and Karla's pact
She's on stage, I'm set to close
I snuck in, put the key in the hole
Got the papers, got the cash
Stuffed the bag, heart beating fast
My heart was beating fast
My heart was beating fast
How long can I make this last?
Should I?
Do it? (Ya!)
Screw it? (Ya!)
Prove it? (Ya!)
Even if its...
Risky? (Ya!)
Tricky? (Ya!)
Sticky? (Ya!)
Ok let it roll
As the ring leader called out my name
"Brittle Bones Nicky", Chap knew he'd been played
Pacing my spot, casing this lot
Is Karla coming? Karla is not
Is she caught? My racing thoughts
Then there she was right on the dot
"I didn't mean to fall in love, you better run"
One last kiss, "and Nicky they got guns"
My heart was ripped, I was made a fool
She double-crossed me, it was fucking cruel
It was fucking cruel, she was fucking cruel
If it cost me my life man
I'd save my only friend
That's something I could live with
I could take that till the end
Brittle Bones Nicky
Not so crafty or tricky
But that son of a bitch won't fold
Cuz that son of a bitch is gold
Friends! Foes! Is there part 4?
Who knows what tricks I got in store
But you know me Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I'd never close that door
[Intro]
In the introduction, Nicky addresses both friends and foes, signifying his return and readiness to continue his story. He sets the tone by reminding listeners of his previous adventures, preparing them for the continuation of his journey. The reference to being unable to stay away highlights his compulsion to return to the chaotic life he leads.
[Verse 1]
Nicky reflects on the past, particularly his early twenties when he dealt with love, deceit, and the consequences of his actions. He recounts being sentenced to four years in prison after the death of his friend, Shifty, and the harsh reality of life with a criminal record. Despite this, he meets Karla, a mysterious figure who captivates him. Her allure is reminiscent of the mysterious flight of doves, symbolizing something unattainable and elusive. His disregard for parole signifies Nicky's rebellious nature and desire to break free from societal constraints.
[Chorus]
This section emphasizes Nicky's reckless spirit, where he questions whether he should take risks, despite knowing the potential consequences. The repetition of "risky, tricky, sticky" reflects the uncertainty and danger of his choices, but Nicky is determined to follow through, driven by the thrill of freedom.
[Verse 2]
Nicky describes his introduction to the circus, which he views as a place where misfits and oddballs like him can live freely. Karla's hesitancy to trust others mirrors Nicky's own guardedness. She shares her backstory, revealing her traumatic past of escaping a war, adding depth to her character. Nicky's encounter with Chaplin, a manipulative figure in the circus, begins to unfold as he becomes more entangled in the circus world, learning tricks and being drawn into a new identity as "Brittle Bones Nicky."
[Chorus]
Nicky once again faces the dilemma of whether to proceed with the risky choices in front of him, reinforcing his internal struggle between caution and recklessness. His yearning for freedom pushes him to ignore the dangers, embracing the chaos around him.
[Verse 3]
This section dives deeper into Nicky and Karla's plan to escape from Chaplin’s control. Chaplin's possessiveness over the circus girls and his shady behavior heighten the stakes, and Nicky’s role in the plan becomes pivotal. During an intermission at the circus, Nicky cleverly steals the key to Chaplin's safe while performing a magic trick, symbolizing his return to his crafty and tricky ways.
[Chorus]
The chorus here reflects Nicky's mounting tension as he prepares to make his final move. His heart races as he contemplates the potential consequences of his actions, knowing that this could be his last chance to escape from Chaplin's grip.
[Verse 4]
As Nicky prepares for his getaway, the tension peaks when Karla appears right on time, but with a twist. She reveals that she has fallen in love, but warns Nicky that the situation has escalated as Chaplin's men are armed. Karla’s betrayal is a devastating blow, as Nicky realizes that she has played him. The emotional pain from this double-crossing is palpable, leaving Nicky feeling both betrayed and foolish for trusting her.
[Outro]
Despite the betrayal, Nicky remains determined to save his only friend, even if it costs him his life. His resilience shines through, showing that while he may have been tricked, he refuses to give up or fold under pressure. The closing lines hint at the possibility of a part 4, leaving listeners eager to see what tricks Nicky has left up his sleeve.
