Intro

Verse 1

 The barrel fire's fading, my pals are disappearing.

 Another night is passing but I won't go.

 It's 2am at Townie and things are going my way.

Three Buds, a glove and a foot of snow.

 There's two little shits selling joints on the hill.

 And the kids down the lot are burning cruisers for a thrill.

 See, we had each other, it was us against the world.

Famous for nothing, yeah, nothing was our world.

Chorus 1

Well these lies won't save me.

Don't you know, don't you know.

From the times that made me.

Here we go, here we go.

Fill 1:

Verse 2

 The courts are filling up, all the kids are coming down.

 For a head start on the troubles of a long night on the town.

 Yeah, thank God it's Saturday and half my problems go away.

Sure, the big ones on the way, but I know how to handle them.

9 to 3 on weekdays, on the hour Sundays.

 The Good Lord was calling me, but I wasn't up.

 From the convent to the rectory and over in the sacristy.

I'm a goddamn travesty, and that's just my luck.

Chorus 2

Well these lies won't save me.

Don't you know, don't you know.

Here we go, here we go.

go! Yeah!
