lyrics

Blackened walls and
Crooked doorways
Muddy streets
Ghosts of the old days
This is our town we built with our hands
He’s a stranger
And she’s the one he wants
She tries to sleep
Inside the room he haunts
Lights are flickering, raging midnight

He walks the streets
Inside an endless fog
Searching hard for any tracks
From those who’ve chosen wrong
Inside, the sound of drunken laughter
The booze was flowing
Three cheers for me and you
A toast to all of us
And everything that we do
Our yellow light, surrounded by a deep dark sky

But later in the night
Through the corner of my eye
I saw shadows moving by
I heard rumbling outside
Keep the music going, man
We got each other, we’ll be fine

And we sang:
Never mind the morningtime
The morning’s never coming
There’s still so much for us to do tonight
The spirits in our bottles mix with spirits in our hearts
And take us over

The wind was howling
And we would laugh it off
Rain was filling up the streets
Mildew and dry rot
The silent prowler welcomed everything
The day, it broke
And woke a tired town
Bloodshot eyes looked on our stomping ground
They knew this was where it ended

The lawmen came around
The banners all came down
And we left our little town to the angels
But time has rotted angels into demons
And they’ve tracked me down
Time has rotted angels into demons
And they follow me around


Please,
You ain’t got the best of me.
