Small ride in a passenger van Seems you traveled a long way to get laid and get the glass in your hand A new fixture a lease on the street How's it feel to be watched when you sit with the drunks in the cheap seats So come early it's the first of the month Taking only beginners, ten below and it feels like a punch in the jaw There's so many to chase But if I get out in front, they won't bother with the look on my face Two days from the southern state Who knows how long the ocean breaks for you still drown in the way things used to be Hell waits on the sober dates For the young skin pale by the summer lake Talking fast to avoid the begging questions They can wait A sole witness never taking the stand One hour to listen but seven nights to sleep with the band And will you lie if you can't get along with the east village boys as they lean back and inhale the smog Shoot strait with a crooked stare And stay out with the girls who put all the bright colors in their hair Do they talk, so little do they care Is this what you came for, or the late nights going nowhere Twenty years and you can't relate to the D street girls who don't cooperate With the elder state trying hard to teach them a lesson When the wind and the water and the winter waste make you shake like a new born in a nurse's face And the neighbors have escaped with all the heat you can stay with me You came around drank the bottom from this town Saying this will bring us together You came around f**ked with all the boys in town Saying we can live forever Young able and socially tight She had one foot out the door and two boys for the rest of the night Ten minutes tipping in here seat for someone to take the offer or a brawl to break out in the backstreets So come early second day of the week and you'll get a strait answer from the poets making out with the deadbeats Lord knows what your doing here but if you sail through the winter You'll be hammered for the rest of the year Too f**king old to make so many mistakes You were f**king so young, you didn't know what to take from your family and friends and they won't return your phone calls Street lights call a different race, mixing vodka and wine in a cigarette case How many times can I pray for the morning after, amen You came around drank the bottom from this town Saying this will bring us together You came around f**ked with all the boys in town Saying we can live forever You came around drank the bottom from this town Saying this will bring us together You came around f**ked with all the boys in town Saying we can live forever
