lyrics

Guttersnipe janitor junkie with the sensitive heart
Writing poetry on a napkin at the end of the bar
Burn it all down to dirt
Drink another round til it hurts
Well it’s what they’re all expecting of you

Wasn’t it just like Tommy to go a little too far?
Wound about as tight as the strings on his brother’s guitar
Driving you around for days
Always out of town on holidays
You came in like New Year’s
But you went out like the Fourth of July

Bridge:
Looking for that old hole in the wall
Somewhere on the outskirts of St. Paul
Someone said it ain’t there no more
Ain’t that just a metaphor
For all the beauty we all pissed away

Come around, come alive, come down, come undone
Do another shot for every time they said you might be the one
Dancing all around the pain
Someone pulled you down the drain
Well, you could have been the one… Drink!

Guttersnipe janitor junkie with the wounded soul
Cigarettes and broken dreams really take a terrible toll
Burn it all down to dirt
Drink another round til it hurts
Well, you came in like New Year’s
But you went out like the Fourth of July
Like the Fourth of July, like the Fourth of July
