This one's for all my boys in back
For those who never found relief
These lonely riders mount the night
And meet the sunrise on their steeds
This one's for those whose names unknown
Perplex the annals of my mind
Their hearts live on in strange affairs
Their tender smiles lost to time
Now they're stars
Past the drunken bars
And a cannibal consumption
This song's for those who lost the war
Whose names have failed the test of time
They gave it everything they had
And yet they never toed the line
They rode through lonely, lonely nights
And yet they never were alone
They buried sorrow in their friends
And then they'd wend their way back home
Now they're stars
Past those ugly bars
And a cannibal consumption
This one's for all my boys in back
For those who bore the brunt of pain
Contorted faces, yet they smile
On cloudless nights they made it rain
Last time, for all those boys in back
Who haunt these channels in my mind
They played at love for all to see
And then they left it all behind
Have you seen
Pictures on the screen
And a cannibal consumption
