lyrics

MAKING THE ROUNDS

walking home through
godforsaken streets
got no money
just a couple receipts
I hail the moonlight
my pretend taxi
I'm making the rounds
up and down
through this once glamorous town
I can still hear the rich harmony
rolling between milkweed and debris
50 years of rust paint each marquee
I'm making the rounds
up and down
through this once glamorous town

CHORUS
basement
black out
dancing 'til the break of dawn
party
freak out
meet me at the after hours
alleyway
make out
innocence burns like a car
night falls on the city below
strange days for dreaming
lights out on the city below
strange days to live in

we met in the parking lot
at the market place
with one headlight
you'd swerved into my lane.
despite the wreck
I knew we'd be ok
I don't care
I don't mind
collisions happen sometimes
At 23, I skipped town in disgrace
I knew I'd wake up dead in a puddle
with a little plastic bag
wrapped around my bald head
upon my return in 2008
I turned the page
changed my ways
and started to come back around

CHORUS
basement
black out
dancing 'til the break of dawn
party
freak out
meet me at the after hours
alleyway
make out
innocence burns like a car
night falls on the city below
strange days for dreaming
lights out on the city below
strange days to live in
innocence burns with the stars
