Gather around you people now to the tale that I tell
|
About the last time my friend moved he decided to move to hell
|
They call it Crestline California down there USA
|
For God and his wisdom burned it down one beautiful day
|
He could not sleep for restlessness, downtown he went
|
Where he ran into some rednecks looking to sexually experiment
|
|
Me and this man had a band once and we were called The Shapes
|
You probably never heard of us and that really is okay
|
We drank and we threw up sometimes we practiced and played
|
Our drummer couldn't figure out whether he was straight or he was gay
|
We went on tour within walking distance of our house
|
Maybe that is why no one knew what our sound was all about
|
|
Thats why I say gather around you people now
|
Get your money out to lend
|
We're all leaving town for good again
|
For good again
|
|
We drink up at the high school by the stairs on the hill
|
Everything looked beautiful with enough booze and pills
|
It was nice to know that no one in their right mind would drop by
|
Just bitch about some bull now and the lights lit up the sky
|
|
You'd never understand the things my friend Eric put us through
|
He had this Powepoint presentation about this girl he want to do
|
Well now we were all such assholes but who was keeping score
|
Most the people who still hate us they don't live here anymore
|
Thank God I don't live here anymore
|
|
Thats why I say gather around you people now
|
Get your money out to lend
|
We're all leaving town for good again
|
For good again
|
|
We lived in the house and it was down on Lincoln street
|
We payed the bills now and they turned out the heat
|
I lived up in the attic right above the bathroom
|
When I could pay my rent-man illegal drugs thats exactly what I do
|
We barbecued in that alley until pa poisoned me with raw meat
|
Sometimes I come home at 4 AM and go face down in the streets
|
|
It was a low level existence thats what you proper people'd say
|
But I wrote songs in that attic that I now get paid to play
|
So if you don't like people who live in attics now might be the time to say
|
Cuz' everybody who is anybody, in my opinion,
|
at one time lived in somebody's hallway
|
|
Thats why I say gather around you people now
|
Get your money out to lend
|
We're all leaving town for good again
|
For good again
|
|
Thats why I say gather around you people now
|
Get your money out to lend
|
We're all leaving town for good again
|
For good again [3x]
