We ran through Every midnight pain We were down Where There is no survivors No one knows What will And will not come Maybe it’s fate Maybe it’s just How the fires burn But babe Good god babe No one could ever say We didn’t walk these roads We didn’t carry the load We didn’t fight against Our destruction And hey there Sister Can you remember The early morning The smell of winter Over this town And hey there Babe I can remember The smell of your perfume Your head on my shoulder Eyes so bright And even the rain Doesn’t bother To fight What no one knows …. And We ran these roads We took the poison We took the chances Some of us left But someone always comes back And we pick up Right where we left off Both feet on the ground Keeping rough hands Dreaming About what’s never been – Down Where the midnight fire is … The whiskey is smoother And the women are stronger And they kiss with a fire We wake up with the morning Building a dream In the heart of this town….
Simon: Oh is that O-E-Os? Ethan: Yeah man. Simon: I can’t remember if I like those or not… Ethan: seriously? Simon: I probably do tho. Ethan: You ate a whole pack yesterday. I had to buy more today. Simon: Well,gee dad. That was yesterday’s nose. It’s different everyday.
Simon: What if we had pizza Francis: I want chicken nuggets! FIFTY chicken nuggets. Ethan: we’re having…we’re having…Space soup. Simon: This isn’t very promising. Ethan: It’s very good. You’ll like it. Francis: Where’s the space? I don’t see the space? Are you sure you’re making this right? Simon: are we poor? You can hit me with it dad. I’m a big dog. Francis: oooh tuna, what’s poor? Is that in this ? Ethan: What! (Slams counter) nonsense! You gentlemen, are the richest scoundrels I personally know.
She’s got her eyes fixed On the electric sunrise She’s watched her dreams die She knows What life is Nothing scares her anymore And you’re going to remember her name … And nothing scares her anymore Her eyes fixed on her goal She’s buying this town Just to burn it down Nothing scares her anymore You know that she knows And you hate her for it Life isn’t just a game She’s cashed out Flipped it You won’t get to repeat it No second chances You missed it ——- She’s fixed her eyes And you’re not it….
I never really realised just how old you really were—-just how young I really was …
——
And I know it’s cool
To have all these issues
And I know
It’s cool to say “they never tell you…”
But truth is-that’s all they ever tell you…
——
I tend to remember growing, bleeding, living…
Trying to find a way to spend what time I could, with you,
It’s strange realising your parents are just people like us
And it’s strange when they are gone
Suddenly any issues
All the rooms
All the drawers
That they occupied in your mind
All the questions
They are suddenly emptied
Fresh clean paper
You spent your whole life writing notes on – now it’s all empty
I guess I learned
Early
I did what I could while I could
And I’ve always been glad about that…
Sitting under a tree
Only talking about , God , sports and politics…just so I wouldn’t trip when you were gone …
But I remember working when I was little
And I remember the smell of all the old trucks…loaded with produce from the markets and listening to every braves game while we sold produce on the side of the road…
And I just wanted to say
We all turned out ok.
Because when you’re gone
It’s not like leaving home
You’re gone
Gone
Gon
So take what you need
What you can live with
Because everything’s eventually gone
And I won’t be here forever
I will eventually dissolve
And
It’s only words on paper
But all of this hate and bitterness
It’s not cool to stay a mess
I remember all the hate I held
Turned to ash staining my hands
The night you left
Realising
All that was left was the blood stain on the carpet …
And maybe it’s just –
Whether it’s love, whether it’s hate , whether it’s pride or Pain
