The Bottom

The Bottom

A small riot 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 wight he drunks in the cheap seats

So come early it's the first of the month
Taking only beginners, 10 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
So drown in the way things used to be

Hell waits on the sober dates
For the young skin pale by the summer lake
Taking fast to avoid the begging questions
They can wait

A sole witness never taking the stand
1 Hour to listen but 7 nights to sleep with the band
Will you lie if you can't get along with the east village
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

20 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 nurses 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
Fucked with all the boys in town
Saying we can live forever

Young able and socially tight
She had 1 foot out the door
And two boys for the rest of the night
10 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

To fucking old to make so many mistakes
You were fucking 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
Fucked 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
Fucked with all the boys in town
Saying we can live forever
