We lived by the highway
We climbed down the fire escape
To the lake
Howled through the alleys
You had an eye for the fire in my eyes
Down at the bar
It's a cold, lonely hour
Laughing like dogs
With my old friend
'cause all of my money
Was stupidly spent
On girls that I won't sleep with
Anyhow
I live by the ocean
A fate I'm not sure you thought I would take
I heard you're a father now
And I'll have a wife
If I get out alive
Out past the car
Insignificant flowers
Moaning in delicate alto
All of my panic was poison to you
Asleep up stairs I was too drunk to climb
I dearly miss those
Late nights in Horto, yeah
Sifting through sadness
Under the gold street lights
Kicked out of the bar
At some petrified hour
Running through wrought iron shadows
All of the country was perfect back then
Before all our secrets caught up to us
