lyrics

We were young but only relative to future mistakes A generation made on making it whatever it takes But failure left a mark that was dark And dug as deep as it could And a promise from a liar is only what you'd expect I never said that I'd keep it just that I wouldn't forget And hope can do as much as it can Just not as much as it should So praise to the gods of crust punks and bar queens Blue collared bloods, booze hounds and dope fiends White trash brigades and debt ridden settlers Ink dripping scribes and change hustling buskers Oh my god I've been asleep for too long When my thoughts turned to flashes of your face turned blue I cut a ribbon of flesh to try and lighten the mood I think of every dream of stardom we had And what you thought at the end And I'll never be the one to paint your life as a saint You were a liar, and a bigot, and a cheat, and a flake But you were beautiful when you were alive And you were my best friend So lord give me love from ghosts of my dead friends A house in the hills and clean sheets to sleep in Give me my baby from North Cupertino Wash me of sins and leave me the fuck alone Oh my god I've been asleep for too long When I get home Do me a favor, leave the porch light on And burn the evidence Oh my god I've been asleep for too long
