[Part I: Not One of My Better Days]
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Nighttime, turn around
Lonely is the city tonight
Nighttime, all around
Lonely in the city tonight
Grey people stare at a static sky (as you will)
Ours is not to question why
[Verse 2]
Same thing, every time
It always seems to need what I'm not
To all the hopeful ones:
Nobody gives a fuck what you've got...
I only wish that I could pray to God (but you will)
Stay longer, please don't leave me alone
[Chorus]
Bastard, mother, father, no...
Time passed quicker than you will ever know
And they can push me harder
But you know I will never go
And they will justify it
But you know, it will take them slow
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Bastard, mother, father, no...
Time passed quicker than you will ever know
And they can push me harder
But you know I will never go
And they will justify it
But you know, it will take them slow
[Instrumental Break]
[Part II: The Girl from Blue City]
[Verse 1]
The lights go out across the harbor
And the boys are out on the corners
Sex in the neon basements (red and smelly)
And don't feel a thing (it's too cold to worry)
So in the corner by the dock where there's no light
It smells like piss but no one knows
And right now just to sleep would be alright
[Verse 2]
Feel old, gone where the feelings go
Gone now in a field of green
Gone where feelings go...
