Lyrics

Homecoming

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My heart is beating from me

I am standing all alone

Please call me only

If you are coming home

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

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 your pain?

Do you dream too much?

Do you think what you need is a cruth?

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

And nobody cares

And nobody cares

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 coffe with the underbelly

His life is 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

Somebody get me out of here

Get me the fuck right out of here

So far away

I don't wanna stay

Get me out of here right now

I just wanna be free

Is there a possibility?

Get me out of here right now

This life like dream ain't for me

I fell 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 left you

They're all out without you havin' fun

Everyone left you

Nobody likes you

They're all out without you havin'fun

Where'd you go?

Geez, ah

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 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 my case

Off of my case

Off of my case

Here they come marching pown 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, now

Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear

In the summer heat

The world is spinning around 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

Home

We're coming home again

I started fuckin' running

just as soon as my feet touched the ground

We're back in barrio

But to you and me, that's jingle town

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Nobody likes you

Everyone left you

They're all out without you

Havin' fun
