D
On Sleepless nights down in the laundrymat
Bm
Watching the clothes, ghosts playing tit for tat
Em
We light up joints, talk about old friends
A
Dead or alive our stories never end
D
Turn it over, look on the back page
Bm
There's Johnny GoGo looks like he,ll never age
Em
Sits in the Park House, drinking beer and landing flies
A C
Just afternoon, waiting for the trouble boys
G D
That's just the way it is here
G D
No less and no more severe
G D
That's just the way it is here
C A
So pull up your socks and lean on your peers
Did you hear about Hank? Booze rotted out his liver
Gray and depressed, he gave his wife the finger
What about his kid, what about his ex-wife
Ask themselves the same thing when they turn out the lights
I still remember the first time I saw him sing
Two black eyes from a Knuckle and a bikers ring
Climbing up the speakers, hanging from The Balla rafters
Hamilton punk king swinging to his own disaster
CHORUS
Pattie couldn't make it, she jumped right out the window
Three floors down cuz they cut off her cable
Dan took the same fall, fireball on Hunter Street
Landed on the side walk looked just like a chicken wing
It was a heartfelt night it was raining
Tim told us the whole story hanging at the gas station
I never wanted to hear that description
But now I know what is or isn't fiction
CHORUS X2
