lyrics
Five bucks for Leonard Cohen - but I don’t even know it,
Hallelujah they’re all wasted - they get to watch me blow it.
Hey there fucko, come on up and sing a line,
Spit on me and scrub and I might shine.
Outside breweries,
Kids and dogs to normalize day-drinking,
IPA’s stinking,
We’ve got sticky lips - and Sunday’s ship is sinking,
Downtown’s booming now,
The shitty wonderland I knew is gone,
Oh how we’ve grown,
Sometimes I just miss walking around alone.
Hear those midwest accents with ready cash in hand,
And these gutted mill hill houses selling for 200 grand,
Rust belt to the sun belt - and they’re forming a long line,
To spit it on us and scrub that we might shine.
Wait until the room clears out - and then get paid to haunt it,
Endangered species list, I don’t care much if I’m on it,
You and me - no one else can find the time,
Spit on me and scrub and I might shine.
I don’t know what it is but sometimes it’s still mine,
