Lyrics:
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only
If you are coming come (Intro)
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live
In the streets of shame
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain (Verse 1)
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 (Verse 2)
Bearing gifts and trust
The fixture in the city of lust
What the hell's your name
Whats your pleasure what is your pain? (Chorus)
Do you dream to much?
Do you think what you need is a crutch?
In the crowd of pain
St. Jimmy comes without any shame (Verse 3)
He says "We're ***ed up," but we're not the same
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame
Jimmy died today
He blew out his brains into the bay (Chorus)
In the state of mind
It's my own private suicide

Does anyone care
If nobody cares?
Jesus filling out paperwork now
At the facility on East 12th Street
He's not listenin to a word now
He's in his own world and he's daydreaming
(Part 1)
He'd rather be doing something else now
Cigarrettes and coffee with the underbelly
His life's on the line with anxiety now
And she had enough and he had plenty
Somebody get me out of here
Anybody get me out of here (Part 2)
Somebody get me out of here
Get me the *** right out of here
So far away
I don't want to stay
Get me out of here right now
(Part 3)
I just wanna be free
Is there a responsibility
Get me out of here right now
Ahhh ohh
Ahhh ohh (Part 4)
Ahhh ohh
Ahhh ohh
This life like dream ain't for me (Outro)

I got a rock and roll band
I got a rock and roll life (Verse 1)
I got a rock and roll girlfriend
And another ex-wife
I got a rock and roll house

So get off my case
Off of my case (Outro)

Lyrics:
Here they come marching down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat (Verse 1)
Coming back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet
The time has come and it going nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair now (Verse 2)
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
In the summer heat
The world is spinning
Around and around (Pre-Chorus)
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 (Chorus)
We're the ones going...
