lyrics

When the street is empty in the middle of the night
You can almost hear the city sigh
My dreams used to have a diamond shine
Now I walk around with a mind full of rye
The raindrops clean my boots off
And it doesn't hurt a bit
In this windstorm tryna get this cigarette lit

Lord bless this mess of meat and bones
Got a body like a tree and a brain like a snow globe
Dreams used to be worth more than gold
Now I walk around with a pocketful of coal
The raindrops clean my boots off
And it doesn't hurt a bit
In this windstorm tryna get this cigarette lit

A shelf of trophies, rusted glory
Time puts a winner in every story
You ever have that dream where you're panicking
and running around your high school halls
I'm very sorry baby if I was drunk
I'm sober now at least 'till lunch
When I die, they oughta write
my obituary in a dive bar stall

When the street is empty in the middle of the night
You can almost hear the city sigh
My dreams used to have a diamond shine
Now I walk around with a mind full of rye
The raindrops clean my boots off
And it doesn't hurt a bit
In this windstorm tryna get this cigarette lit
