Saturday night we went downtownnBut i beat it back home, I couldn't take no morenI heard the voice of the street through the windownAnd it sang me to sleep on the bathroom floorn'Cause my bed is an open grave tonightnIt gives no rest, just cold eyes opennAnd back out to the clouds and rainnI can feel my face growing paler by the daynnThere's a fire in the basement, so help me girln'Cause I want you now more than anything elsenThey came in brave and just put it outnAnd i realized that I could go any timenBut oh my baby blue, I don't caren'Cause i've been gone so longnnOut getting high on the back porchnI sing to the empties and cigarette buttsnAnd I know that the song is about younAnd I'd sing to your face, but I've got no gutsnnAnd the mice are an angel choir tonightnThey squeak right in on the hallelujahnI'll clear my head and close my eyesnAnd I'll get up late and I'll give up hope in the end.
