I. The Death of St. Jimmy

My heart is beating from me

I am standing all alone

Please call me onle if you are coming home

Waste another year flies by

Waste a night or two

You taugh me how to live

In the streets of shame

Where you've lost your dreams in the rain

There's no sign of hope

The stems and seeds of the last of the dope

There's a glow of light

The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night

Bearing gifts and trust

The fixture in the city of lust

"What the hell's your name?"

What's your pleasure and what's you pain?

Do you dream too much?

Do you think what you need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain

St. Jimmy comes without any shame

He says "We're fucked up"

But we're not the same

And mom and dad are the ones you can blame

Jimmy died today

He blew his brains out into the bay

In the state of mind

In my own private suicide

II. East 12th St.

Does anyone care if nobody cares?

And nobody cares and nobody cares

Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Jesus filling out paperwork now

At the facility on East 12th St

He's not listening to a word now

He's in his own world and he's daydreaming

He'd rather be doing something else now

Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly

His life on the line with anxiety now

And she had enough, and he's had plenty

Somebody get me out of here

Anybody get me out of here

Somebody get me out of here

Get me the fuck right out of here

So far away I dont want to stay

Get me outta here right now

I just want to be free

Is there a possibility?

Get me out of here right now

This life like dream ain't for me

III. Nobody Likes You

I feel asleep while watching spike TV

After 10 cups of coffee

And you're still not here

Dreaming of a song

When something went wrong

But I can't tell anyone

'Cause you're not here

Left me here alone

When I should have stayed home

After 10 cups of coffee I'm thinking

Where'd you go?

Nobody likes you

Everyone's left you

They're all out without you havin' fun

Nobody likes you

Everyone's left you

They're all out without you havin' fun

Where'd you go?

IV. Rock & Roll Girlfriend

I got a rock and roll band

I got a rock and roll life

I got a rock and roll girlfriend

And another ex-wife

I got a rock and roll house

I got a rock and roll car

I play the shit out of the drums

And I can play the guitar

I got a kid in New York

I got a kid in The Bay

I haven't drank or smoked nothin'

In over 22 days

So get off of my case

V. We're Coming Home Again

Here they come marching down the street

Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat

Coming back from the edge of town

Underneath their feet, the time has come

And it's going nowhere

Nobody ever said that life was fair

Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear

In the summer heat

The world is spinning aroun and around

Out of control again

From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down

So send my love a letterbomb

And visit me in hell

We're the ones going home

We're coming home again

I started fucking running

Just as soon as my feet touched the ground

We're back in the barrid
