Over stars and gutters
What a great time we all had
Drinking all our futures down the drain
There's no sense in regret
The times we'll never see again
Every memory will slip and fade.
Today is our day.
It's bad enough, bad enough
that I do what I have
Anything to do with no one else today
I'm trying, I'm trying to shit it all out
To get out of all of these mistakes
You've got a few good years there boy
Then it's time to settle down and work until you die.
It's what he said to me, but it's not what I believe,
No, I believe I'm drinking tonight.
I believe that I'm drinking tonight.
Over stars and gutters
What a great time we all had
Drinking all our futures down the drain
There's no sense in regret
The times we'll never see again
Every memory will slip and fade.
Today is our day.
I'm not into fighting all the lectures and the rules
I'd rather kinda sleep right down below
So now you'll write on the walls till the sky crash and falls
We'll fuck 'em all out and let it go
We can fuck 'em all out and let it go.
Over stars and gutters
What a great time we all had
Drinking all our futures down the drain
There's no sense in regret
The times we'll never see again
Every memory will slip and fade.
Today is our day.
There are drinks at the bar
And there are friends at the tables
And a million things to leave behind.
We've got all night for this one great goodbye.
We'll waste it but its nothing but our time.
The memories we set adrift to die.
Today is our day.
