This place feels like a million miles from home
Even though it's right down the street from everything that I know
It's the same bottles and drinks you can find most anywhere
Not sure if this is Austin or San Francisco and I hope that's fair
Chorus
These bottles and drugs and these things that will wreck us
Cause the girls in California are just like the ones in Texas
Lights go down drinks fill up but we never drink alone
Saved you a seat a the bar it's easier when nowhere feels like home
Good for a drink or two next thing you know we're out on a tear
I'm not sure if this Dallas or Los Angeles and I don't even care
Chorus
It's midnight out here but back there it's two a.m.
So let's pretend it's closing time I know your name but tell me again
Last time we were out this way we gave ourselves a pretty good scare
I'm not sure if this is Fort Worth or San Diego and I hope that's fair
Chorus

Ice baby we can go all night
We'll tell the sun to stay down so we can do this right
I got drugs for days and you got liquor for weeks
We got a house with no heat and a dance floor on the street
There's a shout from the back of a sold out crowd
Turn that shit up and play that song loud
There's a girl who's dying inside every night
Well she don't look sad but she don't look right
Chorus
Yeah you know I ain't no killer
But this place makes me want to kill
We got friends to the east and friends to the west
We got friends we don't know and they're always the best
We got enemies and lovers who don't talk anymore
If you want a good time we're always looking to score
So get yourself up and get out of this place
When the sun's coming up and you're a total disgrace
Tell your mommy and daddy when they call on the phone
You've found your place in hell and it's looking like hell
Chorus
So pick yourself up at the end of the day
You've got to find the next bed the next place to stay
If you've got nothing to lose then you've got nothing to gain
As long as you're with us we're all going insane
So get yourself up and drink it on down
There's a party tonight this is a hell of a town
And if you don't make it out of here alive
Remember we warned you remember we tried
Chorus

It's quiet now maybe this quiet is here to stay
But now we ring out the bells to let them know you're on your way
A path that no one should take or worse be forced in to
What kind of a god lets this happen?
What kind of a monster did he make?
Chorus
So fly to the heavens angel
This is no place for you
A world on the edge of a fall
Coffins should never be so small
How many husbands and wives were lost forever on that day?
Not just the ones in the ground but the ones that were forced to stay
Is the west coast far enough to move to make it go away?
What kind of a god lets this happen?
The kind who smiles from down below
Chorus
You want to point the blame somewhere?
You can point it down the barrel of your gun
You want to stop the past repeating?
Then stop fucking sticking to your guns
Chorus

1991

I come from a town without seasons
Where people do things for no reasons
Learned music from my brothers and their mix tapes
And loved girls who were out of reach and out of place
We were four drunk kids on a night that would never end
Driving over broken bridges and never coming back again
Chorus
When I saw them they were drinking in the back seats
The radio was playing it was Blister In Sun
That last time I ever had a good friend
The radio was playing it was 1991
Friday night and everybody's sneaking out
Busted locks and windows with the screens kicked out
Phone call meet us in the woods tonight
Bring your girls to break the hearts of all my guys
When the fire dies down we'll sleep in our cars
Where we hold each other close forget about the stars
Chorus
Friends like that I know I'll never see again
Friends like that I'll see you in the final end
The things we did we never should have been alive
The things we did someone should have surely died
Chorus
Friends like that I know I'll never see again
Friends like that I'll see you in the final end

Ghost Between Us

Seems like you called and told me like it was yesterday
A night I can barely remember and now there's hell to pay
Flyover states are a problem
When I can't hold you tonight
Chorus
And there is a ghost between us
It haunts me every single day
And there is a ghost between us
And that is the price we have to pay
And there is a ghost between us
And there is a ghost between us
If I was there would things have turned out differently?
Or would your life be better in a world where we didn't meet?
Unanswered questions are problems
Unless you ask the right ones
Chorus
Now once a year I blow out a candle and don't even sing
In my mind he grows older but my friends they don't know a thing
It lives in the corner of my mind
And I can see him clearly
Chorus
