Broadripple Is Burning

Children, broadripple is burning

And the girls are getting sick

Off huffing glue up in the bathroom

While their boyfriends pick up chicks

And, darling, I'm lost

I heard you whispering

That night in fountain square

The trashed-filled streets made me wish that we're headed home

And that was love inside the basement

Where that woman used to lie

In a sleeping bag we shared upon

The floor almost every night

And, darling, I'm drunk

Everything that I have loved has turned to stone

So pack your bags

And come back home

And I'm wasted

You can taste it

Don't look at me that way

Cause I'll be hanging from a rope

I will haunt you like a ghost

If my woman was a fire

She'd burn out before I wake

And be replaced by pints of whiskey

Cigarettes and outer space

Then somebody moves

And everything you thought you had has gone to shit

We've got a lot

Don't ever forget that

And I wrote this on an airplane

Where the people looked like ants

And when a woman that you loved is gone

She was bombing east japan

Don't fucking move

Cause everything you thought you had will go to shit

We've got a lot

Don't you dare forget that

And I'm wasted

You can taste it

Don't look at me that way

Cause I'll be hanging from a rope

I will haunt you like a ghost

And I'm wasted

You can taste it

Don't look at me that way

'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope

I will haunt you like a ghost
