lyrics

I walk on the left side of the road now
I cross the street when I see a light out In the downtown abstract artifacts Some pimp in the alley wants a handout

He looks at me in the dull, dark night With his red eyes, cheap suit and cane Telling me nothing I don’t know already Like smoke from the sewers in the rain Like smoke from the sewers in the rain

I’m a well dressed advertisement For a company that closed it’s doors There used to be a revolution
On the corner of 14th and 4th

Now it’s just a campaign of sadness
Between the buildings and the beggar’s trash I don’t know what I saw in this city
But my mind is changing me fast
Yeah, my mind is changing me fast

I got some friends that are coming tonight The band’s been sounding real good
I guess it’s good to be back in my hometown No one feels at home in this neighborhood

Do you remember Gina the tramp?
She made dream catchers out of old guitar strings She sold them to all the hopped up truckers Pouring in from Colorado Springs
She thought they were all highway kings

It was just some random night
At the Waffle House by the cemetery Robo-trippers and candy-flippers Hooking up with the apothecary

And the cops pulled a gun on a kid
I guess his car musta smelled like pot
They found a pipe in his glove compartment Cuffed the black kid in the parking lot Cuffed the black kid in the parking lot

Gina was watching from the window Behind a cigarette and smeared mascara Her eyes were like a cold bus station
We spent that night with Jake and Sarah

And I always think about it
When I come back here, it’s true
I wonder how you can miss somebody That you never even knew
That you never even knew

I walk on the left side of the road now I got a rattle snake around my neck And I’m a different person every day But I’ve earned my self respect

There’s no moral and there’s no story Just a busted out marquee light And a world full of broken people Where Gina’s nowhere in sight Gina’s nowhere in sight
