1.Spit Shining Shit
I was awake, dreaming about sleeping
And my mistakes, and how I keep 'em
So close to me, so that I'll never forget,
I can't get anywhere
Shedding tears over these bottles
Celebrating life at the bottom
Of the barrel of a barrel so rotten
And I've forgotten
What this was like before I started stopping
Fuck this, I'm out of bullshit to cry about.
Pass these fuck you's around.
I'll be dead and gone when this shit hits the crowd
Tell me why I even tried tonight
I should just let it die.
And I'm tired of waiting for this shit to shine.
I was asleep dreaming about palm trees
And I woke up to dirty city streets
I heard the voices echoed in the back room
And I had to walk around the corner to the barstools
Where I was
Shedding tears over these bottles
Celebrating life at the bottom
Of the barrel of a barrel so rotten
And I've forgotten
How to light this fire
I've forgotten
How to toe this wire
I've forgotten
What shit was like before I started stopping
Tell me why I even tried tonight
I should just let it die.
And I'm tired of waiting for this shit to shine.
I am tired of waiting
I am tired of waiting
This is my life this is my time
It's time to take it
Don't let it die.
2.The Slowest Drink At The Saddest Bar On The Snowiest Day In The
Greatest City
My eyes opened to the emptiness.
My face was nothing but crooked lines.
I guess somewhere I really fell behind.
My feet were cold against the bathroom tile.
Took a shower just to pass the time.
My mind was full, too much to figure out.
I walk through the snow to a bar where there's no one I know.
Drink slow with nowhere to go.
And when I leave I'll be singing this song.
Summer's gone,carry on, I'm a ghost in the dawn.
I was lost on the airplanes.
I was high on the fast trains.
My heart was a bird in a small cage.
And I was drunk on the radio waves.
Too much coffee I'm not steady now.
Quiet apartment, ears are ringing loud.
The winter drowns out all the city sounds.
Hang my towel over the shower rod; so many hours just hanging
on.
So many chances have come and gone.
All this time passed me by and I was trapped in waiting.
Sometimes the truth is hard to find and I was scared
3.Them Angels Been Talkin'
What's that sound？
In the parking lot someone's getting sick
But the beards just gather 'round to get another picture of his
dick
Around the corner there's a party with a million pretty girls
Black and blue, tattooed and bruised, weary with the world
This high life is running at full steam
Come on everyone and live this high life with me
I'm not gonna stop until the devil falls asleep
Tonight is the march of the meek
I feel the Sparks on my teeth and in my veins
Summers spent in basements, smoking in the rain
Number fifteen and Anthony, when will I see you again？
When is the next time we can raise our voices with our friends
If I promise just to love you, promise me you'll always change
It's more than a blackout, or remembering names
The ships and parades fade into dull greys
And everything ends way too soon
And up there the angels have been talking
And you'd best believe what you always knew
Cuz their words are all true
And no one is waiting for you.
This high life is running at full steam
Come on everyone and live this high life with me
I'm not gonna stop until the devil falls asleep
Or jesus gives me back my keys
Tonight is the march of the meek
Stand up and be counted if you can't live without it
4.The Redness In The West
Wasting away never felt this way before
I played all the ditties they were hollerin' for.
Then they shot at my boots and told me to dance
And I didn't really wanna but before I had the chance
To say my piece everyone was laughing in my face
It's safe to say I hate this place
Do you wanna get lost, cuz I can't stay found.
I done my time killing days in this town.
I got a little itch and I'm thirsty.
All I wanna know is who's coming with me
Fuck you
You're cool
Fuck you, too
The last goodbye is simple and true.
I got a fever for the cowbell, boys.
I fell for the beat and I stay down for the noise.
Break into something that's beautiful now
Tell me that it's gonna be okay
Or exalt my friendships and line up these bottles of beam from
my crib to my grave.
I wrote it to end it this way.
Let's get lost cuz I can't stay found.
Hell, anywhere is fine if we drift out now.
I'm so tired of doin' my dyin' here.
We'll fuck 'em all, we're gonna fuck em all when we get there.
This time we're gonna roll where only fools dare
We're gonna lie
Tonight
Then we'll disappear.
5.Demons
I got too drunk at your wedding and my voice got loud and I said
some
Creepy things and I staggered around and even though your best
man
Had to kick me out it was a pretty good time either way. It
seems a
Fight broke out and an old man was yelling, cuz no one was
buying all
The bullshit he was selling and he threw all his keepsakes on
the
Ground and walked away, cursing hard to bring back yesterday
And the dying ain't gonna stop just because you walk away.
And you can cry for everything that you've lost but you ain't
never gonna bring
Back these days.
I hate the Mondays and the Fridays cuz they always define the
Endless march of pushing ruthlessly to the light. Well, if I'm
gonna be
Dying then I'm gonna get high and scream until I'm not feeling
the pain.
Let's burn a bridge for the fuck of it and kill this night with
Some beers down at the pits, with whiskey lips and we'll try to
Love for the moment and forget for the night that life doesn't
Usually feel great.
Where we gonna go now that everything's shut down？ I can't
Go home, so where do you wanna go now？ Let's bring it back
Around to where everybody's singin' that the dying ain't gonna
Stop just because you walk away. And you can cry for
Everything that you've lost but you ain't never gonna bring
Back these days. You ain't never gonna bring back these days.
